Well, at least ThinkPenguin seems to actually stick to their principles. They also let you choose whatever Linux distro you want pre-installed, unlike System76's two choices between Pop_OS and Ubuntu. They also accept crypto payments.

Oh you thought that was bad? I also found out that their site is hosted on AWS. They might as well just sell their computers on Amazon.

Finally fixed the collision detection (at least I hope). Turns out that recording the positions of the previous frame does actually work.

Got the bumper car behavior implemented. Will need to fix it. The car doesn't retract after bumping.

I think I solved the problems with car physics and collision which is to keep track of the car's position of the previous frame. Up until now, I've been using an object's velocity to handle directional collisions.
