Names can't be used currently, so atm using addresses is the only way.
I don't think anyone really tried that up to now. I don't remeber
off-hand what animateActor() exactly expect, but if just giving the
address doesn't work try to divide it by 4.

Yep, objects must be aligned. It might be possible to extand the
compiler to automaticaly pad the object images using the room image.
On the other hand doing this would lead to objects having a different
size/position in game and in the source. That would probably be even
more confusing in the end.
But this give me an idea which is probably much more useful: allow the
object image to have transparent pixel and automaticaly blend them with
the room image during compilation. That would probably spare quiet some
grunt work when doing the artwork and make things more flexible.

Doc updates are always welcome :)

v8 would be great, but that's going to be a loooot of work, and v7 is
still far from finished. Now regarding v5 I don't have much interest, so
I probably won't do it myself. But I won't stop anyone willing to do it,
and I'll definitly accept such patch if done correctly.
