There are two ways to do this:

1. You create a sprite that moves itself in a direction constantly, and resets it’s position to the initial position when it goes out of bounds, pretty much like what the Runner tutorial does for the platforms
2. You create a material, like @pkeod explained [here](https://forum.defold.com/t/repeating-texture/49201/2)
