I am setting the screen for my game to always appear in landscape orientation. When my tablet is in landscape orientation and my game starts running, it appears in portrait orientation and only in a small area of the screen (see figure 1). If my game starts running when the tablet is in portrait orientation, it is shown correctly; it changes automatically to landscape orientation (see figure 2).
Below, I included the code with the orientation settings.
I will very much appreciate any comment.

I don't know if the problem is this error in your code... you can try it.

You need to make sure that your Xcode project is set for only LandscapeLeft (the landscape mode you have indicated), otherwise it assumes the orientation that the device is opened in.

width=getdevicewidth() //you are using float variable and the function return an integer
height=getdeviceheight() //the same
SetDisplayAspect(width/height) //you have used height/width and it's wrong
"


I did what you suggested and the orientation problem got fixed, but now the game is displayed in a small squared area instead of the whole screen.

What version of AppGameKit are you using?

Something that has popped up for a while is that assigning GetDeviceWidth/Height to a variable, in Tier 1, and using that variable doesn't always work.


You could also try this (maybe it is an ordering thing):
