#1... Golden ring isnt in cheat menu yet

#2 Transparencies: I suggested this a long time ago, and it was written off as too hard, I thought that it might be feasible in windows. The ability to make certain colors transparent on different layers and sprites. Maybe by having a button in the sprite selector and combo editor that opens up a pallete and allows you to choose transparent colors. I'm not sure how hard it would be, but it should be alot easier now.

This would allow you to create sunbeams transparent sparkles, and all kids of neat stuff. Maybe later you could add distotion effects as well (like the combo behind the fire wavering) But that would definately be hard to add.
