Screen Orientation bug in 1.5?

by John Vanderbeck · in iTorque 2D · 04/22/2012 (2:35 pm) · 4 replies

I am running as a universal app, building in the iPad format in the game builder. I force landscape mode and do not allow rotation.

In the simulator and on my iPad the screen orientation is flipped upside down.

The default landscape view used is Landscape Right, the view with the home button on the right. If you have rotation turned off and you're viewing it in Landscape Left (which is what I believe the simulator tends to default to) then it will be upside down.

To clarify I don't mean that the game screen comes in upside down, I mean the game screen is backwards in comparison to the iOS UI.

The game screen is rightside up, but the iOS status bar is upside down. Is that normal? Because it seems odd.

Probably a duplicate of this bug: www.garagegames.com/community/forums/viewthread/130107 (iT2D 1.5 BUG: Notifications and Keyboard are upside down in landscape-left orientation.)

Thanks for the reference Conor. I'll take a look at this today. My next task was to update the engine to use storyboards and the proper view controllers anyway.
