    High Scores in landscape mode on iPad

    totebototebo Member
    edited August 2016 in General questions
    No matter what flags I set, the high scores always appear in portrait mode when testing in Gideros Player on device.

    Is this a Gideros thing (because the player is always drawn in portrait), or is there a way of getting the high scores to display in landscape?

      Yes, make a player that is exported as landscape - just delete the assets like you do on Windows - you may need to export it with encryption turned off.

      Thanks @sinister. I haven't released anything on Windows yet, so not sure what you mean there. How would I export a player as landscape?

      somewhere at the top of your code put
      stage:setOrientation(Stage.LANDSCAPE_LEFT)
      Also in Gideros Studio right click on your project in the project explorer pane and select properties. In the main page set your desired orientation.

      That should do it.

      oops, I meant Android not Windows. :)

      To export as landscape just click properties and set it to landscape, then export a full project. Gideros will set up the xcode for you. Then remove the assets sub folder (the assets folder within assets) - that makes a player.

      @antix, Cheers, that works for the game itself. I'm trying to build a standalone player though, so I can test without having to build.

      @SinisterSoft, Oh really, that works on iOS too? Fantastic!

      @sinistersoft, the export to iOS and remove assets folder works. But despite setting the app to landscape, the high scores show portrait on iPad. WHY?!

      no idea - that is odd - is it a setting actually in game center controls - i mean on apples webpage ?
