Wraparound (video games)

In video games, "wraparound" refers to a game mechanic where a character or object that moves off one edge of the game screen reappears on the opposite edge. This is commonly seen in 2D games, particularly in classic arcade-style games. For example, in a side-scrolling shooter or a platformer, if a player character moves off the right edge of the screen, they will appear on the left side of the screen, and vice versa.
