Background:

Since we're adding (and have added so far) support for different platform game versions, we need support for the sound files too. Currently we need support for the following format:

The Task:

  • Extend our general MOD player to support the mentioned format.

Required Skills:

  • Good C++ skills.
  • Understanding of how audio is generated.
  • ARM assembler knowledge is a big plus.
  • Acorn knowledge is a plus.
