Yes, this time you're right.  But I don't think it matters that much, so
unless Nat cares to change his level, it will probably stay that way.

No, you cannot build toruses, only Klein bottles.  To make things even
more confusing. :-)

But to tell you the truth: No neither is possible or even planned.  I
don't think there are too many levels that would benefit from being
periodical, and it cannot be easily implemented in the current engine
(it's not that hard, but it would be a terrible mess -- world
coordinates are used in all sorts of places).  But you can always prove
me wrong...
