6 years ago looking into doing it with parallax layer instead, I found out that it has a limitation that prevents complete tiling on non-moving screen with sprites moving inside it: https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/15359
It only tiles partially, its not very good for games where the camera doesn't move, but you need the screen to wraparound. Classic examples can be found in many arcade games, such as pacman, some of the first mario arcades, https://youtu.be/j4lKDTgifl8?t=52s
See this article for a better description: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wraparound_(video_games)
We can't easily achieve it in godot at the moment. In my case I can't do it via teleporting because it looks ugly - especially on bigger sprites to disappear and reappear. I also want to use it for a tiling texture editor I am making in godot, so that absolutely needs to show both halves of the sprite on two ends of the screen

This will allow us to make a wraparound viewport, where the player can wraparound a single screen
On a texture of a sprite node one can set this by: 1 Add Sprite 2 Load texture 3 Check Region on 4 set Region Rect (0,0,640,480) 5 Edit texture 6 Check Repeat on ImageTexture Flags.
I was actually wondering whats the simplest way to do it in other ways, but the paralax layers seem to not work for a player moving around a stationary screen
