Landscape and portrait mode on GD3?

[aliekens]

Hey all,

I am new to the community with a fresh Gameduino 3 in my hands. In the kickstarter video, one demo was that it can run in 4 orientations, both portrait and landscape modes.

How do I tell the Gameduino 3 to run in a different orientation than the default?

Sorry this isn't properly documented yet... after GD.begin(), you call one of

GD.cmd_setrotate(2);
to enter portrait mode. The argument controls orientation, 0 and 1 are landscape. 2 and 3 are portrait.

(orientations 4-7 are mirrored versions, in case you're wondering).

The variables GD.w and GD.h always hold the width and height of the screen - cmd_setrotate updates them.

I've added this to the library FAQ
