I stopped programming a bit after I got DBC because I had to use mroe time on my homework. I've Just recently gotten back into programming, and I'm having a small problem. I'm making a minigame for now, and I want the circle I've made to wrap from one side of the screen to another. I know I used to know how to do this, but with my stop in working on it I've forgotten how.

I searched a little bit, but I coudldn't find what I wanted to know.

A little help?
Here's what I have so far(I know it's small, but I'm working on it XD)

+ Code Snippet

Sync on 
sync rate 25
sync

Make object sphere 1, 20
position camera 0, 800, 0
rotate camera 80, 0, 0

Do
if upkey()=1 then move object 1, 25
if leftkey()=1 then turn object left 1, 25
if rightkey()=1 then turn object right 1, 25
if downkey()=1 then move object 1, -25
print object position y(1)
print object position x(1)
sync
loop

what you mean but wrap from 1 side to anothere ?

If Zeddex can, you can. If you have an idea, make it.

the camera stays still (for now).
I want it so that when the object you control reaches the top of the camera's view, the object wraps down to the bottom of the camera's view. I know my friend did this once, and I know he told me how, but I forget now. XD

if object in screen(1)
   objx=object position x(1)
   objz=object position z(1)
else
   if objx<-600 then objx=600
   if objx>600 then objx=-600

new problem.

Ok, I got the wrapping to work, and I got a bit done, but I'm stuck in making the background wrap right. I have it so that there's a line of bricks spinning in the back, and when the sphere goes up, they're supposed to go a little bit up, not to match, but to give the illusion that the sphere is moving high above the cubes (which it is... sorta)
But the cubes don't go to the bottom right, and they don't even move right. They don't always wrap, and once I start going up, they don't stop. They go up, and sometimes change to down when I'm heading down. Here's the code I'm having trouble with, and the rest of the program attached if you need that, too.

+ Code Snippet

for f = 2 to 37
objx=object position x(1)
objy=object position y(1)
if objx<object position x(1) then move object f, 2
if objx>object position x(1) then move object f, -2
if objy<object position y(1) then position object f, 0, 2, 0
if objy>object position y(1) then position object f, 0, 2, 0
next f

Well you don't have anything to say which direction you are heading. Just code to say whether you are above or below the bricks.

To say which direction you are heading you need two positions. Your current position, and your last position. If your current position Y is greater than your last position Y then you are going down the screen, and vice-versa. Then you would change this....

if objx<object position x(1) then move object f, 2
if objx>object position x(1) then move object f, -2

With the new check.

Even after I got it to work a little bit, I dropped the other background idea because it was way too far ahead of me, and any progress I made in it would have come from someone here giving me the code directly, and then I wouldn't have learned anything. So, thanks for the help, but I'm just gonna go with something else.

and this something else has confused me, even when I wasn't rusty.
I may not be very good at figuring this out, but I'm stuck with making the squares sway. I read a tutorial on how to make a set of variables to make jumping, and I've been trying to make it work for this, too.
Here's the code.

+ Code Snippet

for x = 2 to 37
objectspeed#=0
objectdir#=0
if objectdir#=0 then inc objectspeed#, 10
if objectdir#=1 then dec objectspeed#, 10
if objectspeed#=100 then inc objectdir#, 1
if objectspeed#=-100 then dec objectdir#, 1
move object x, objectspeed#
next x
sync
loop

but when I execute, it goes up, up... up... and doesn't stop. I want it to swing back and forth, increase in speed to a point, then decrease in speed untill it's goin backwards, then loop, but it won't slow down.

again, full code attached, in case you need it.
