This component will mirror a sprite renderer and create a sprite wrapping effect at the edges of the screen similar to the game Asteroids. To use the component, add it to the same game object as the sprite renderer you want to mirror and it just works. Optionally, you can set the warp property to true and the game object will warp to the opposit…
