The procedure entry point _Z11qWinAppInstv could not be located in the dynamic link library QtCore4.dll.
Do I need to download QtCore4.dll to run it?

I knew this will happen... I'll upload it now - my brother isn't on the wondows computer so I have a chance to copy the libs ^^
EDIT: uploaded - see the 1st post

I've uploaded the new version of STD - version 0.2
In the first post you can read that there is a level editor, but I'm not sure if the windows one works, because there aren't runtime libraries on the qt home page and my brother is occupying the windows computer, so I just downloaded some on opendll (but they are older version), so do an antivirus scan just for sure
oh and I forgot to include help for the editor so here it is:
object movement: keyboard - m
camera movement - mouse middle drag

Okay, now just find out the way the butterflies are moving. It looks quite random.

It would be cool, for sure, to have more than one powerup. I always hated in Spyro 3 when i had that awesome powerup with 300 pellets, and then I'd eat a butterfly that only gave me ten, or whatever.

Yeah, same for me.

Okay, now I cannot decide about one thing so I am going to ask you all about it now. You know when Sparx eats powerup butterfly, he will lose the previous powerup. I am thinking about the possibility to have more powerups at once (so the previous one won't disappear) and be able to switch between them.
So what do you think? Which method should I choose?

And if you have some idea about a new powerup, you can post it here and if it is good, I may implement it in the game.

Yeah, my gameplay was kind of ... "derpish". Didn't take time to learn every
control. I guess that would be a nice thing to implement, a controls page.

Because your game is windowed and not full-screen, I was able to have the
controls next to the game screen.

This looks really cool - any chance it would work on 32-bit Ubuntu 12.04?
Also, I recently acquired an oldish Mac, so if there's anything I could do with testing or compiling or anything I'd be interested in helping if possible.

Of course I will compile it for 32 bit linux soon (i'll propably compile it on virtual maschine) - that's no problem, because setting up linux compiler is 100 times faster than setting up windows compiler XD
Oh and if you could compile it on mac, it would be great. I hope it is not that hard setting it up on mac... is there anything like package manager in Mac OS?

I'd like to see how it goes. But a game shouldn't require the downloading of so

game. You've put a lot of work into this. I'll try to help you find errors.
I'm running Win 7 64-bit.

For the libraries for the windows version: they should be all included already. If it complains it cannot find some, just tell me thair name and I'll include them. As for the linux libraries, it is not such a big deal putting the one line into terminal and of course after I learn making packages, I'll make some for this game so user won't need to deal with terminal anymore.
