 and just give it for example, mm1iceman = [1, 2, 3] , the 1 meaning that it's active and the 2 and 3 it's position in space. In the future there will be more inputs for settings of objects.
 It could also work by calling a function, say place_tile(tilename, x, y) and then do that for every tile placement call. That would separate the placing of tiles from the placing of objects and more.
