It would be nice if there was a "distort (image) to [(x1,y1),(x2,y2),(x3,y3),(x4,y4)]. It would probably use code similar to [Sega Saturn “3D” sprite distorsion](https://forum.makecode.com/t/sega-saturn-3d-sprite-distorsion/10303). Not only could it be used to easily create textured polygons in a 3d space, but it could also be used for a variety of cool screen effects.
