This makes voidmap run totally smooth for me, great job Alan!
This system sounds awesome too, can we use this to script in steps of
the character doing stuff like puffing up dirt and sparkling snow?
Or maybe we can use it to make small "bumps" on collision of certain
things, like when you jump on a certain tile or hit a switch it does a
few sparks of light like in a zelda or mario game. Are those
possible?
