Animated Tiles in TX2D

#1 So far no we cannot use animated tiles and we cannot use animations in the particle emitter either.

#2 In order to animate tiles you could create a BoardMapComponent and inherit from the IAnimatedObject interface like this:

public class BoardMapComponent : TorqueComponent, IAnimatedObject

Then implement the UpdateAnimation(float dt) method.

All you have to do after that is add your component to the Animation Callback Process List like this:

ProcessList.Instance.AddAnimationCallback(Owner, this);

You can add it to the process list in the OnRegister method or whenever you need to start animating your tiles.

Now all you need are references to T2DTileObject's that contain the frames and you can use the SetTileByGridCoords method to change frames. This is probably not the best way to go about it, but if you have simple tile animations, it should work just fine. I used this method to animate the energizer pills (blink off and on, energizer tile, blank tile) in the pacman remake i'm creating using torqueX.

#3 @Zach - I'll look into that when I get home. If that works, Aweseome!
