I'm a programmer who has interviewed for several game programming jobs and many times a potential employer wants to see some code samples of your work. Anyone have ideas on what types of things to give them? What types of things are they looking for?

Depends on the company. Generally, you'll want to be able to provide them the work that you are most proud of.

It should be clean code with elegant/economical solutions of problems, well commented. (Code you wrote for a game you made or participated in making.)
