I have something for you that will "magically" turn art into code. Reading this post has given me a little motivation.
I say it should be ready for a pre-alpha release by no later than February.
As of now it can export platformers and top downs to hml5 and android. It operates using just placed art and the names of user defined animations.
I'm working on a stylish hack and slash right now with it, also the last game I just released was made with it.
