I haven't gotten this far yet myself, but it occurs to me that you could either set up walls with collision at the edge of the matrix, or (probably easier) just define maximum x and y coordinates for the character in the game loop that would keep the character from moving that far.

Ya folla? If you're not sure how to do this I might be able to provide a code example later.

Supposing your matrix is 10000x10000 and it is positioned at 0,0,0, and x# and z# are your player positioning variables, put this in the main loop:

if x#<0 then x#=0
if x#>10000 then x#=10000
if z#<0 then z#=0
if z#>10000 then z#=10000
