It uses the original game data while providing a modern engine for Windows, macOS, Linux, and BSD with high-resolution support and gameplay improvements. ### Project history The official GitHub repository was created in 2013 and the README describes the project as both a faithful recreation and an extension of the original game. The code base mixes Lua and C++, with most game logic in Lua, which has made it approachable for community contributors. ### Adoption history CorsixTH is distributed through upstream releases, Linux and BSD package repositories, Flathub, Snapcraft, Homebrew, MacPorts, and Windows package managers. Its adoption follows a common open-source game-engine pattern: package the free engine while requiring users to supply legally obtained original assets. ### How it is used Users install the engine, then point it at a Theme Hospital HOSP directory from an original CD, GOG, EA, or the demo. The wiki documents supported operating systems, release builds, package-manager installs, data-file setup, and runtime configuration. ### Why package nerds care CorsixTH is significant for packagers because it separates redistributable engine code from non-redistributable commercial game assets. Packaging must also account for desktop integration, Lua/C++ dependencies, save/config paths, and release channels across native packages, Flatpak, Snap, and app bundles. ### Timeline - 1997: Theme Hospital, the game CorsixTH reimplements, was released. - 2013: Official GitHub repository created. - 2025: Official releases include the 0.69.x series. - 2026: Official releases list 0.70.0 beta and release-candidate builds. ### Related projects - Related projects and distribution surfaces include Theme Hospital, SDL-based open-source game engines, Flathub, Snapcraft, Homebrew, MacPorts, and package-manager builds named corsixth or corsix-th. ### Sources - - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** corsixth - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 1 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - zypper - CorsixTH - 0.69.2-1.3: normalized package name match | openSUSE Tumbleweed package metadata: CorsixTH from https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/repodata/be8d3611d25469107f32075a1697e69ec57a2b850b42348a658cc671ad5ec2b50760d02c3e59524d50da9a11d5be799bdaffba2e166e8ca8858512e3c0bd665d-primary.xml.zst | Theme Hospital clone | http://corsixth.com - MacPorts - corsixth: normalized package name match | MacPorts ports tree: games/corsixth/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - winget - CorsixTH.CorsixTH: normalized package name match | Windows Package Manager source index: CorsixTH.CorsixTH from https://cdn.winget.microsoft.com/cache/source.msix ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [Scientific computing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/scientific-computing-tools/) - Matched scientific computing metadata. - [ffmpeg](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ffmpeg/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [freetype](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/freetype/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [lua@5.4](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/lua-5-4/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [sdl2-compat](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/sdl2-compat/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [cmake](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cmake/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [luarocks](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/luarocks/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [arx-libertatis](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/arx-libertatis/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cross-platform, game-engine, games. - [exult](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/exult/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cross-platform, game-engine, games. - [solarus](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/solarus/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, game-engine, games, lua. - [crispy-doom](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/crispy-doom/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, game-engine, games. - [freedink](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/freedink/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, game-engine, games. - [openjazz](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/openjazz/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, game-engine, games. - [dsda-doom](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/dsda-doom/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, game-engine, games. - [easyrpg-player](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/easyrpg-player/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, game-engine, games. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
