Hi! We alwose appreciate help, so let me say thanks! :)

If I remember correctly you have to interact with the tower to get the hook. There should be 2 Interactions with it: One for grabbing it (for controlling the hook) and one for getting the hook. I think you have to have a free inventory slot selected though!
(Mental note: allow grabbed things to add interactions)

By the way, I guess you're shrey from IRC? Most people in IRC run on CET and everybody who was in there was probably sleeping or getting ready for work when you were there. It was around 7AM. :)

> Can i compile my code in linux and then copy it to windows to run it?

Yes. That's how our windows release binaries are built, in fact. You can use both autotools and CMake in the standard crosscompilation mode.

Hm, any specific reason you can't simply compile inside the VM? Finding bugs would be way easier with a debugger around. We have a tutorial on how to do that, in case you're unsure what you need.
