For Constibutor

My extension is not a duplicate of Orientation Checker. That one is reactive — it only detects the current orientation and lets the developer show an object/message if the game is being played in the wrong orientation.

By contrast, my extension is proactive — it uses the Screen Orientation API to force the game into either portrait or landscape mode. This is a different use case: instead of just warning the player, it actually locks the orientation.

Thank you, If there's somethings for changing. I'm ready to work on that, I'm also sorry but I had to reopen it because the other one was closed before I can explain.

Hi! I’ve updated the extension and added an example project. All checks are passing again—would love a review when you get the chance🙂

@D8H Hello, this is one of my old extension and I use it everyday. It's really helpful for changing the orientation mid game and I was wondering if I could contribute it since it was finished and it has export and browser support

Okay brother

I read it, this one is safe and doesn't contain malware (I don't even know how to make that stuff) also it doesn't contain and iligal stuff, I would take full responsibility in that case!

[D8H]

So, follow the instructions there and it will be added to the community list. I don't understand what you expect from me.
