Got it, will do, and look forward to your new tutorial this week!

Which instructions are you referring to? I was following the information in this thread:

scirra.com/forum/plugin-windows-phone-updated-iap-trial-more_topic62454.html

I followed these instructions:

"Firstly download the plugin and extract to <install path>\exporters\html5\plugins. "

I copied the plugin contents into the Plugins folder of Construct 2.

C:\Program Files\Construct 2\exporters\html5\plugins\WindowsPhone

Your instructions didn't say what to call the subfolder under plugins, so I just called it "WindowsPhone"... should it be something different?

The instructions also say:

"Included in the download is a Windows Phone project. Use this rather than exporting your own project."

However, I already have an existing C2 project, which I exported to a WP8 project. I'm not quite sure how I can use your WP project, and still use my C2 project.

Should I skip this step about using your WP project?

Please advise, thanks!

Hi all (and plugin author),

I installed the plugin, and added an event for the game to go to my Title Screen when the user clicks Back.

My event sheet has this entry:

WindowsPhone . On back --> System . Go to layout "TitleLayout"

However, when I click the Back button on WP8, the game quits and goes to the WP system Start screen.

Am I missing something? :-/

Once I get this working, I also want to detect the layout, so that I can go to the title screen when the game is being played, or quit the game when it's already in the title screen.

FYI, I am using the WP8 emulator in VS2012 since I don't have a physical device at the moment.

Thanks in advance!

I found the complete answer in a couple of different places:

scirra.com/forum/force-landscape-windows-phone-8_topic61174.html

I was able to successfully force landscape mode in Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Phone by doing the following:

1) Open the solution (.sln) file that is produced from the WP8 exporter

2) Open the MainPage.xaml file from the Solution Explorer

3) Find SupportedOrientation and change the value to "Landscape"

4) Find Orientation and change the value to "LandscapeLeft"

<phone:PhoneApplicationPage

...

    SupportedOrientations="PortraitOrLandscape" Orientation="LandscapeLeft"

Set the width to 800 and the height to 480 in the viewport meta of the exported index.html.

E.g.

<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no, target-densitydpi=device-dpi, width=800, height=480" />

Hi all,

I just made my first game in Construct2, and it runs great in all web browsers on my desktop, and various mobile platforms, including iPhone, iPad, Android smartphones and tablets.

I exported it as a Win8 app, and just submitted it to the Windows store.

I just installed the WP SDK, with the intention of publishing it on WP8. However, the game appears horizontal while in portrait mode, when I run it in the Simulator.

When I rotate the Simulator 90 degrees so that the phone is horizontal, the game rotates with it, and appears perpendicular to the landscape screen.

How do I make my Construct2 game run in landscape mode in the WP8 simulator in VS2012?
