Was working on my stacks today, and attempting to add some visual effects... but I am still getting errors... 

Just something as simple as
"visual effect dissolve" 

Looking at the Dono page, it looks like Visual Effects were going to be worked on after the $1000 mark. Is this still the plan? I know it doesn't seem like a lot, but sometimes a quality barn door or dissolve is a nice change of pace when switching cards.

Hi!

Yes, visual effects aren't yet implemented. I wrote code to parse the
syntax (VpcVisualEffectSpec.getVisualEffect), but it isn't attached to
anything yet. I think I can use canvas compositing to efficiently draw
the visual effects (there's unfinished code in ui512ImageDissolve.ts,
and I've already drawn the tiles for this in
vipercard/vipercard/resources03a/images/fordissolve.png).
Thanks for the feedback! What's highest on my list is the UI for
backgrounds (most of the infrastructure is done), and then adding the
ability to import stacks. But I'll note that there are requests for
visual effects.
