----------------------------------------

Hi! My 8 year old son is using pgz to learn to program. It's kind of frustrating doing image animations; a lot of typing and data structures for him to wrap his little head around.

Any hope in having sprite sheet support?

He wants to make an actor "run", but him and I both get bogged down going into details that I think are above his head at this point.
