in reply to New Module - Image::Tileset

Hi, this sounds like a cool idea, but your demo didn't display any Tk window, and there wasn't any Mainloop statement in the tk demo.... perhaps you forgot to manually pump the Tk eventloop?

Otherwise, this seems like such a cool idea for making tv ads and small mpg videos for displays.... simple and easy to modify

My idea to contribute, is a way to make mpeg movies out of the frames you assemble. For instance, you could create a canvas, based on a 32-by-32 tile size, move the sprites around, then take a snaphot.... then assemble those frames into a mpg movie, possibly synchronizing with sound.

For a way I experimented with the concept, see z-charcoal-video-converter

    Aha, thanks for pointing that out.

    Earlier in the coding, the animations() function would accept the ID of a specific animation and only return the info for that animation. I'd changed the function though to be "animation()" (singular), to keep the naming consistent with the tiles/tile methods. But then I didn't update the tk-animate.pl script.

    I've fixed it and repackaged it at the same URL. To fix it manually, just edit line 40 of tk-animate.pl

    - $pngs->{$id} = $ts->animations($id);
+ $pngs->{$id} = $ts->animation($id);
