[Request] Portrait/Landscape mode for J2ME?

Is it possible to do such thing without having to inverse gravity or movements in a platform game engine??.. tnx

Just screen rotate.. or set what you want to use when developing

Tnx ^^

I was about to make the same request. :)

Good idea! I'll have a look at that.

Great!!! Thanks Francois!!! I was waiting for that aswer :)!!

Hello again. Any news for this feature? is it possible? Thanks...

I have not started to work on it.

ok... thanks, i wont' bother anymore ( ._.)

After a little search, I say it IS possible.
But the main problem with this, is the width/height of the application. Most mobile phones have a screen higher than its width. So if you turn the display, it will simply not fit on the screen and look terrible.
After thinking I wonder if this is a good idea.

I believe the idea would be to be able to develope games for landscape style devices... like PC's but to also allow the game to be played on many mobile devices by holding the phone or pda in a horizontal position. it works very nicely with most phones... there's a few games that support this feature.

The Iphone is a great example of this as most games support playing horizontally...some HAVe to be played horizontally.

The other trick to keep in mind is that the controlls would have to be re-mapped, because Up is now left, down is now right and so forth.

I personally would love this feature because I want to develope many games in this horizontal format.

One last thing to ad, this would not have to be an on the fly (at run-time) feature... this could be another option associated with your wonderful "Clone application at a new size" feature.

with this, I could design the game to run naturally horizontally on pc's (320x240 for example), then clone the application to run HORIZONTALLY on many other devices. Ideally, it would automatically rotate the keypad input for up, down left and right as I mentioned above.
