I have encountered another troublesome issue.I see that TCastleTiledMapData.TFrame and TCastleTiledMapData.TAnimation have been loaded from the map, but they are not being used later on. I need this feature, otherwise creating things like swaying palm trees or waves on a beach would be very cumbersome. I would have to manually create a lot of TCastleScene instances to load spritesheets, which is daunting to think about.
Indeed, animating the Tiled tiles is not supported for now in TCastleTiledMap in a viewport (although it was supported in TCastleTiledMapControl, now deprecated).
Hmmm… should be easy to add (and still be optimal). Let me get back to you later this week 
Looking forward to your updates! Once this feature is completed, TTiledMap will be almost perfect (I haven’t used image layers/ellipse objects, but the supported rectangle objects are very useful).
Posting here for everyone to know: With many thanks to Freedomax on GitHub, we have a PR for this (including also other improvements): Making TCastleTiledMap support rendering animations. by Freedomax · Pull Request #445 · castle-engine/castle-engine · GitHub . I encourage everyone interested to watch it
