Pretty simple question, so I don't think I really need to explain. Things like idle animations would be nice, but mainly I'm asking for things like Makhleb's altar. Would it be possible in crawl to create a tile that is animated?

Not sure what you mean? They already are animated... many altars (Xom, Makhleb, Jiyva...), wizlab portals, etc... check out the feat.png file in tiles folder of the offline distribution, the frames are there. These rc options control the animations:

Code:: tile_water_anim = true If disabled, animation of liquids will be suppressed. Defaults to false on WebTiles. tile_misc_anim = true If disabled, animation of miscellaneous things such as altars and torches will be suppressed. tile_realtime_anim = false If enabled, tile animations will run in real time and will not be tied to player actions. This option is only available on WebTiles.

...I'm smart.
Thank you, though.

Well, really not sure now. Anyway, it's static frame based animation, so if you are asking about player / monster tile animation, that would require preparing every frame (which is obviously impossible for player tiles composed of many dynamic elements).
