As an aside for mkiii, I'd love to see something a bit like Pixelang (multiplatform mini-program dev kit/player) where there's lots of built in commands for special effects in graphics, such as motion blur, guassian blur, translucency, deformation (think like magnefying glass and fish eye lens), built in image format outputs of both the screen and individual sprites/backgrounds, etc for further manipualation (think of it as a way to algorithmically do photoshop effects onto a normal image for use later) and other built in effects for manipulating graphics. What's there is good but I suppose they scaled back what is possible via hardware acceleration to keep any program being created with petitcom from being able to look as good as commercial games regardless of how much work is put in...
