Welcome to CorsixTH, an open source clone of the classic game Theme Hospital
by Bullfrog! This is playable beta 1 of CorsixTH. Many rooms, diseases and
features have been implemented, but there are still many things missing. In
order to use this release, you will need to get a copy of the original game
data, and also compile CorsixTH, as detailed at:
http://code.google.com/p/corsix-th/wiki/GettingStarted
http://code.google.com/p/corsix-th/wiki/HowToCompile

If you like this project, you can help us with development, e.g. by reporting
bugs or starting to code something yourself. Ask on the mailing list for more
details (http://groups.google.com/group/corsix-th-dev).

But now, have fun with the game! For those who are unfamiliar with Theme
Hospital: Start by building a reception desk (from the objects menu, which is
opened by one of the big blue buttons at the bottom of the screen) and a GP's
office (diagnosis room, from the rooms menu). You will need a Receptionist and
a Doctor to staff these, which can be hired from the staff menu (again, a big
blue button at the bottom of the screen). Various treatment rooms will also be
needed, along with staff for them. Patients should begin to appear in your
hospital at the start of the March month, so be sure to have some facilities
ready for them.
