Glossary Entry: Source port
Definition
Some games are designed so that their content and engines are entirely separate. This allows them to be ported to a new system just by creating a modified engine.
These new engines are known as source ports, and are often made by fans rather than the original developers. Many fan-made source ports also add new features.
