Leveraging the new zip capability, the core inputs, and some open source RPG tiles, I created a searchable “database” of sorts where you can scan through a huge ( 6000 ) collection of game tiles and see which ones you might want to use. I really loved working on this as it helped me learn more about promises and just how freaking cool Observable is. I could never have done this on my own devices - but having all these capabilities built-in made it super easy [RPG Tiles 🐉 / Andrew Wooldridge / Observable](https://observablehq.com/@triptych/rpg-tiles)

Nice!

I made a small modification so that the file names show with the images when the mouse hovers. Take a look:
