About

Line Rider is a browser/software toy originally created in September 2006 by Slovenian student Boštjan Čadež. After appearing on DeviantArt, it became an internet phenomenon, with official versions later released for Flash, Silverlight, JavaScript, and Windows. linerider-advanced is an open-source spiritual successor to Line Rider 6.2 (the Flash version), keeping backwards-compatible physics while adding substantial new functionality. It's a C#/.NET application for Windows, Mac, and Linux (via the Mono framework on non-Windows platforms), incorporating code from libraries including ffmpeg, NVorbis, gwen-dotnet, and OpenTK.

Getting started

Pre-built releases are available on GitHub; running them needs .NET 4.6 on Windows or the Mono framework on Mac/Linux. Building from source requires restoring NuGet packages and compiling the solution with Visual Studio or msbuild (.NET 4.6, C# 7).
