Web browser and version
Chrome v142.0.7444.162
Operating system
macOS
Steps to reproduce this
In this example, since the rectangular player sprite has friction, it can fall over and flip onto its long side. This is apparent when p5play is used with q5 or p5 v1.11.5 and below.

Switch the p5 version to v1.11.6 or above, including v1 latest v1.11.11, and you'll see that p5 renders incorrectly. So this is not an issue with p5play, it's a result of changes made to p5.
I can't tell the cause of the issue.

Research direction
Start with the linked p5.js editor sketch and reproduce its rendering under p5 v1.11.5 versus v1.11.6 or later in Chrome on macOS. Compare the rendering-related changes between those versions and identify the regression affecting the flipped rectangular sprite; done means the cause and a verified correction are established.
