Be kinda cool if it did

I can just see little 50px tall warriors slashing their blades over and over again and dragons with wisps of smoke curling from their nostrils as they endlessly scan left and right looking for the next foolish 50px tall warrior....

There was some talk a while ago of using an Animated.gif to show states so instead of actually running the animation you would grab and hold different frames to say show wounds, dead tokens, tokens with ranged or melee weapons, etc. basically manually toggling through a set of states (frames). It's an interesting idea that you could use for objects too like open and closed doors or chests.

Usally for states I just have so other "effect tokens" which I place over the NPC,PC or object. Like a skull & crossbones for dead. But still animated icons would rock. I think I put it on the ideas thing.. Cant remeber
