As I understand this, this room is only for discussions of development, and not for beta versions of any games. It's for discussion about programming, if you need help with that.

Well, not necessarily. This room can be for trying alphas or some sort of rough copy of the game that is playable but not official, but *only* if the developer chooses to do that. As Phil didn't choose to put some test version on here, you can't necessarily just go here and ask for one. If a dev feels he/she wants the community to test a rough version of the game for bug reporting etc, then they can release it here. But that's their choice.

Hello,
If you would like to see the kind of games we are uploading, you can look at the creating .exe files of pygame projects thread, I've posted a pre-alfa version of my game for people to test with the compression software so people can download it and fiddle with it in order to help in creating a .exe of the game.
That is the most you will see on this forum. It is only for developers and the other rooms are for Betas. If you read this forum, there may be a version like what I posted in the py2exe thread, but it is very buggy and not worth playing yet.
I do have a game I posted for example purposes in some of the other threads and whatnot, but I did post those in the new releases room. What you'll get here is the source-code for those games.
If you wish to comment on the playability of those games, post your comments in the new releases room.
If you wish to start development of your own games, please feel free to post your questions and pre-alfa copies to make sure people are able to play them on all their systems.
