This provides a Windows executable versions and a 64bit Linux executable version along with the source for those brave enough to try and build it from scratch.

About

It was said that out of all the cities of earth, Ferrin was the loveliest. She had lived upon two hundred islands in the delta of the River Noon, tied together with bridges of spider lace and glass.

- Mark S. Geston, The Day Star

Version History

A 7DRL is supposed to be completely done at the end of the seven days. However, this should not mean one does not make small fixes.

SDL Conformance Notice

Day Star is shipped with the SDL and SDL_Mixer .dll. You may replace this .dll with the latest version. The official license is:

Licensing the Simple DirectMedia Layer library

The Simple DirectMedia Layer library is currently available under the
GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) version 2 or newer. This
license allows you to link with the library in such a way that users
can modify the library and have your application use the new version. 

The GNU LGPL license can be found online at:
http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/lgpl.html 

To comply with this license, you must give prominent notice that you
use the Simple DirectMedia Layer library, and that it is included
under the terms of the LGPL license. You must include a copy of the
LGPL license. You must also do one of the following: 

1. Include the source code for the version of SDL that you link with,
as well as the full source or object code to your application so that
the user can relink your application, or 

2. Include a written offer, valid for at least three years, to provide
the materials listed in option 1, charging no more than the cost of
providing this distribution, or 

3. Make the materials listed in option 1 available from the same place
that your application is available. 

The most common way to comply with the license is to dynamically link
with SDL, and then include the SDL source code and appropriate notices
with your application. 

Embedded Use: Personally, I don't have a problem with anybody
statically linking SDL for use with embedded environments that don't
already have an open development environment. (i.e. the users can't
relink programs anyway) However, this does technically violate the
LGPL, so be cautioned.

I have made available a tarball of the SDL code here. It is recommended you get the most recent version from http://www.libsdl.org, however.
