The camera sticks at the map edge, or keeps pushing when I turn away

When the camera runs into the edge of the map and you keep holding a diagonal key, one direction should stop and the other should carry on along the edge. Often the camera stops dead, or hidden speed makes it linger before it reacts. Here is how to stop one direction at a time and how to slow down before the edge.

Why this works

A wall should stop only the part of the movement that points into it. Treating each direction on its own lets the rest carry on along the wall, and cancelling the stored speed at the wall means nothing is left to pull the view back later.

When not to use it

Do not slide when the edge is meant to feel like a hard limit, such as the end of a level or a ring where leaving has a cost. Then stop all movement with a clear signal, or let the world wrap around instead.
