We extend the event-chain Monte Carlo algorithm from hard-sphere interactions to the micro-canonical ensemble (constant potential energy) for general potentials. This event-driven Monte Carlo algorithm is non-local, rejection-free, and allows for the breaking of detailed balance. The algorithm uses a discretized potential, but its running speed is asymptotically independent of the discretization. We implement the algorithm for the cut-off linear potential, and discuss its possible implementation directly in the continuum limit.
