Any easy way to create an endless terrain?... Examples, ideas are welcome!

Divide the terrain in patches, and show only the nine patches around/under the player. In my project, I used this: [first post]

But that terrain is not infinitive.

Yeah I did have a look at your example, I'd really like for it to be endless though.

You could also try and fake an infinitive terrain by warping the player back at some point. The 'patches' solution would be your best option I think:

Graphics 800, 600

Repeat

	Cls
	
	x = MouseX() / 100
	y = MouseY() / 100
	
	For i = -1 To 1
	For j = -1 To 1
		gx = (x + i) * 100
		gy = (y + j) * 100
		DrawRect gx, gy, 80, 80
	Next
	Next
	
	Flip
	
Until KeyHit(key_escape) Or AppTerminate()

End
