The biggest problem would be the wrap-around. You could 'detect' that projectiles and units are on the border of the map, then move them to another border corresponding to their velocity. This would require tracking all projectiles which is extremely performance heavy. For beam lasers you could just spawn another beam at the other map border. For explosions spawn another explosion at the other map border, etc. You would also need to override pathfinding, Spring's pathfinding isn't designed for this. That by itself would be a big project.

Additionally, I never tried this but it in theory could work, you may override some of the built-in Spring functions with your own. In particular,
