# Animating WorkAdventure maps
A tile can run an animation in loops, for example to render water or blinking lights. Each animation frame is a single
32x32 tile. To create an animation, edit the tileset in Tiled and click on the tile to animate (or pick a free tile to
not overwrite existing ones) and click on the animation editor:
<div class="px-5 card rounded d-inline-block">
<img class="document-img" src="images/anims/camera.png" alt="" />
</div>
You can now add all tiles that should be part of the animation via drag and drop to the "playlist" and adjust the frame duration:
<div>
<figure class="figure">
<img class="figure-img img-fluid rounded" src="images/anims/animation_editor.png" alt="" />
<figcaption class="figure-caption">The tile animation editor</figcaption>
</figure>
</div>
You can preview animations directly in Tiled, using the "Show tile animations" option:
<div>
<figure class="figure">
<img class="figure-img img-fluid rounded" src="images/anims/settings_show_animations.png" alt="" />
<figcaption class="figure-caption">The Show Tile Animations option</figcaption>
</figure>
</div>
{.alert.alert-info}
**Tip:** The engine does tile-updates every 100ms, animations with a shorter frame duration will most likely not look that good or may even do not work.
