Animated tiles?

[DustyPorViva]

Will it ever be possible to have some sort of feature to allow tiles to be animated? I know it's possible now, with addtiledef+gif, but that slows it down when there's a lot of animated tiles on the screen.

I guess it would be better if handled from whatever draws the tiles, so maybe a new addtiledef that would allow dividing up an image into frames for an animation.

Like, addtiledef3(image.png,levelblah,addintotilesX,addi ntotilesY,framecount);

And what it would do is divide the image according to how many frames, and animate it via the tile drawing, instead of by just showing a gif.
