Your not offsetting the enemies from the players central position..

' Some constants to control the radar

Const radarScale = 40 '8000/200
Const radarOffset = 200 '100*2
Const radarWidth = radarOffset*2

'Calculate radar position as an offset from the player

RadPx = ((e.x-px)/radarScale)
RadPy = ((e.y-py)/radarScale)

'ensure radar wraps around player - only use if game arena wraps around player 

RadPx = wrap(-radarOffset,radarOffset,RadPx)
RadPy = wrap(-radarOffset,radarOffset,RadPy)

'wrap function ensures radar image wraps around game arena

Function wrap(min,max,value)
 local width:int = max-min
  if value > max then 
    value:-width
  else if value < 0 then 
    value:+width
  endif
end function

Hope this helps
