In Bonk, an IShape2D is defined by two methods.

1. A support function, which is a method that returns the farthest possible point in the shape in a given Vector2 direction. The shape vertices are transformed by a Transform2D.

2. A method for creating an axis-aligned bounding box from the shape that takes a Transform2D to transform the shape vertices.

Bonk provides you with tested implementations of four common 2D shapes, but you can implement these methods to create custom IShape2D structs.

Note that shapes themselves do not contain absolute position data. You will use a Transform2D to manipulate the shape's position, rotation, and scale in 2D space.

A final restriction to note: Defining concave shapes is an error. The collision solving algorithm that Bonk uses does not support concave shapes. If you wish to define concave shapes, define them as a composition of multiple convex shapes.
