Armoda Music System

Armoda is a music and sound effects system for games and other multimedia applications. It is one of John Hall's side projects, and is still under development. However, Armoda is already quite usable as a command line module player.

Compatibility

I test Armoda against the weirdest modules I can find. It plays the infamous blkqueen.mod and ode2ptk.mod modules perfectly (as far as I can tell), and handles some other files that MikMod has trouble with. Protracker .mod support is very good. .s3m is mostly supported, but needs some work. .dsm modules are mostly recognizable, but almost always have glitches.

Download

No binaries yet, but feel free to grab the code from GitHub. Thanks to icculus.org for web hosting.

License

Ugh, I hate software licensing. So I've chosen a rather unrestrictive one. Armoda is licensed under Overcode's Source License. In return for my efforts, I request bug reports and, where appropriate, credit for my code. However, these are not required.
