What was that old Amiga programming language...?

So back in the early '90s when I was a boy scout (which is not usually a good start to a story) we had a camp leader who had a couple of Amigas. I'm certain one was a 1200, but I'm not sure that's relevant. At any rate, he had a BASIC-like programming language that allowed very easy manipulation of images and sound and used it to construct games. The magic thing was that he would very easily steal tiles, sprites, sounds and music from _commercial_ games which he could then drop into this language and manipulate. Now, I'm remembering this from across the void of time, but I remember being really amazed that he could so easily pull a sprite from a game and then reuse it. Did I imagine this, or does someone know what I'm talking about here? Cheers; - JP
