-- was able to take a CP without it changing color to gray, try to reproduce
 - drawing dithered transparent objects fills z-buffer in the transparent parts
   and then the geometry behind it isn't drawn <- PARTIALLY FIXED NOW

     AND frontend doesn't have to use RGB565 (it can basically choose any mode).
 - drifting: passing some upper threshold on steering force should reduce
   steering friction until reaching some some lower threshold again probably
+- was able to take a CP without it changing color to gray, try to reproduce
 - Environments: just different textures for a cube inside which the tarck is,
   the cube won't have the top side, texture can have transparency (sky see
   through) <-- NO
