   Hello fellow iphone developers,

   I have a slight problem for the game I'm trying to make at the moment. The window view has no left and right edges, so sprites can currently disappear beyond either side.

   What I wanted to do was instead of making them disappear, I would like to wrap them over to the opposite side. Does anyone know how to do this? Bear in mind the sprites will be subject to gravity and certain velocities as I'm using the Box2D physics engine. So I would like to retain whatever path of trajectory any of the sprites have, as they move outside of one edge over to the opposite edge.

   Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

   Kind regards,

   jmak35.

   Having a toroidal or spherical world has been discussed in the Box2d forums but the short answer is you can't do it.

   I can't even think of an easy way to render the sprites, you'd need to draw the "wrapping sprites" twice.
