Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

guys,

My question is for my pong game I making for android

How can I code my game to rotate the screen on a phone to landscape view automatically?

I like to have my game to run in landscape view because the screen will be bigger .

thanks in advance.

Put this in your build.settings

orientation = { default = "landscapeRight", supported = { "landscapeRight", "landscapeLeft"}, },

ok I will thanks for the response

i tried that setting but the objects, such as the paddle and walls don’t rotate well

Is there a setting that affects them as well?

#5

What I told you just sets the canvas as landscape.  You need to code your app to run in landscape mode.

#6

how do i do that . I there way to have the objects automatically adjust if a person rotates their phone?

#7

Yes you use the orientation event and the adjust your layout to fit the new canvas dimensions.  Corona won’t do it for you.
