Device orientation variable

[Nobody]

A feature I’d like to see in Hopscotch is:

a device orientation variable that detects the device orientation (portrait or landscape)

I’d use it for this type of project:

designing a ui better if some things do not look as good in a different orientation

Here are some examples of Hopscotch code that could be improved if we had this:

look at the top right, the red text in the second image doesn’t look as good

Here is an example design I’ve made:

its a game variable, and you could select either portrait or landscape

I’ve seen something similar in another programming languages, it looks like this:

@media (orientation: portrait) {
  color: blue:
}

if I’m correct, the tilt right/left percentage blocks would not work as they reset if your orientation changes

Do you like the idea?

• Yes, I’d like to see it implemented
• No, this isn’t necessary
• Maybe, I’m unsure about it

Can’t you like just use the already built in variables?

Doesn’t this code do the same thing?

Check if iPad width > iPad height
(Orientation is landscape)
Else
(Orientation is portrait)

I knew I was forgetting something, that should work

[Awesome_E]

That’s stage width/height, not device width/height

It is really cool but maybe it have to be like this:

And then it is like this:

[noobcoder2000]

A little confusing, but I think it’s cool?

[Nobody]

but with this block you could change what it looks like based on weather the device is in portrait or landscape

Device orientation variable

A little confusing, but I think it’s cool?

I can’t make it much simpler lol

[Halcio]
