Screen wrap
Teleport object when it moves off the screen and immediately appear on the opposite side while maintaining speed and trajectory.
Authors and contributors to this community extension: Entropy, VictrisGames, MelonDev.
The teleport happens when the center point of the object crosses a border (this can be adjusted with an offset). By default, the borders of the wrapping area match the screen size, but they can alo be changed.
The Asteroid-like example uses this extension (open the project online).
