About
This repository preserves the prototype source code of Corridor 8: Galactic Wars, uploaded by a fan (not the original developer) to prevent it from being forgotten. It runs on DOS; the original README clarifies that, despite similar filenames, this is not Corridor 7's source code, and documents command-line options and how to switch between its 3D editor and game modes with F10.
Getting started
Command-line options can be listed by running the program with "/?". To use the level editor, launch with the "/edit" option, press ESC, and load a level; pressing F10 switches from the 3D editor into game mode, and F10 again switches back to editing.
History
Corridor 8: Galactic Wars was the planned sequel to Corridor 7, developed by Capstone Software, but was never finished and only reached prototype stage before Capstone and its parent company, IntraCorp, went bankrupt in 1996. In 2005, Les Bird released the prototype and its source code to a Corridor 7 fan, who hosted it as a free download.
