I kind of like the wrapping, too, when working with the simulation on my 
own.  I think for the purposes of a game it would be simpler to do 
bounded.  Otherwise the game could devolve into players simply building 
glider guns and reflectors.  Are there deflectors?  You could build the 
gun, then put a deflector by the back of your head.  

You're right about there being plenty of room for options.  We need to 
get something coded.
