Animated tiles and editing the palette

[wprevett]

Hello, I have a few questions about the tile map.

I’m trying to figure out how to create an animated tile but haven’t found any explanations. Can someone describe the process please?

Another question, can you edit the palette? Sometimes the sprites I add are in the wrong place and I just want to move them around, or if I add a tile to a palette, and later delete the sprite for it, the palette shows a pink square and I can’t remove it unless I move a new sprite into place.

Thanks for any help.

We don’t have non-coding way built-in, but you can find working example asset here:

Click the EDIT button in the header of the palette. Once you are in EDIT mode, you can use paint/erase/pick/etc. to edit the palette.
