ModSurfer is a rhythm game inspired by the PC title AudioSurf. Select a
MOD music file from your collection and a 3D track will created for you
to surf on. Roll over the tiles on the ground to score points and keep the
music going. Miss a tile and the instrument won't play, making a right mess
of the music!
Use the file browser to select a MOD file and click the Start Game button.
Move left/right with the mouse. Joystick and keyboard (A and D) are also
supported but a mouse is highly recommended. You can exit a track early
by pressing the Escape key. You can also return to Workbench from the menu
with the Escape key.
This game can be run from a hard disk after unpacking the archive. If you
prefer to play from floppy, or have limited RAM, there is a bootable ADF
image included in the archive. ModSurfer will run on any Amiga at 50 FPS.
Larger MODs may require more chip RAM to load.
No MOD collection? Not a problem! You can find a set of curated MOD files
in LHA and ADF format at the URL below. The fast tracks are guaranteed to
get your foot tapping and your heart pumping!

This game is a product of the English Amiga Board (EAB) game development
competition in 2018. It began as an experiment in lead instrument detection
using a mix of spectral analysis and information in the MOD pattern data,
but grew into something much more beautiful.
Source code (mixed C/assembly) is included in the archive and can be browsed
at the URL below. It is cross-compiled using the Amiga GCC port, which is
currently maintained by bebbo. ModSurfer uses a modified version of the
ptplayer MOD replayer library (mus/play/ptplayer), without which this project
would not have been possible.
