device orientation question...

gamesfua

Hey all, real quick question for you. I recently discovered something I never saw before.
In all of my scenes I made sure to do... SCENE>AUTOROTATE> and check off both landscape left and landscape right.
But suddenly I've discovered... GAME>DEVICES> Device Orientation and Interface Orientation.
What are those?

Correct me if I'm wrong but it's crucial to check off (in SCENE>AUTOROTATE) landscape left and landscape right. Right?
So do I have to do anything with the GAME>DEVICE ones?

Curious what their functionality is and if I need to do anything with them? My main goal is to have the player be able to play the game landscape left and or right (whatever their choosing is).

Thanks!

@anatomyofdreams ive got 2 apps on the app store, 1 made in landscape, and the other in portrait. I have never had to touch the GAME - DEVICE orientation and they both work perfectly. As long as you have checked the the SCENE - ORIENTATION you will have no problems. Im not completely sure why there are 2 options for this.

Good luck with your game

Why don't you do both it can't hurt? And I don't know why they are both there some reason.

@jimbo340 thanks for the response. But unfortunately i don't know what the difference between them are. So i don't want to do anything that may potentially screw with my game. Anyone else out there have any suggestions or ideas?
And thanks again jimbo!

@bluemoonstudios thank you! I'm curious what they do too!
