Portrait Android games

[Saiffyros]

Hey, newbie here.

I'm struggling with a game for android.

I'm trying to make this game in that portrait format, so I've set the resolution to:

Init python:
gui.init (390, 700)

That gave the screen format I wanted, but I had to adjust some things.

The text length so that it would be limited to that screen, the in-game menus had to be limited too. Same with the names of the characters...

I was able to do that.

But the load/save button doesn't apear to me I can't find a way to configure it into my screen 390-700

Is there a GUI and screen code ready for portrait games?

I have in mind games like these:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... L&hl=pt-br

https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... n&hl=pt-br

Is that what I really have to do? Is there an easier way?

All the screen menu haven't been made to fit portrait size of the mobile, I'm afraid. You could show only "screen navigation" first, and then Save, Load, and other screens after the interaction. If it's me, I probably just wipe all the default UI screens and do a redesign of the UI that would work better on mobile devices.

EDIT: Wondering if Legacy UI would work better in mobile portrait mode, though.

I did just this (in 720x1280, but it will scale) for my project.
I'll give you the screens code later after I get out of work. Shoot me a PM if I don't reply within 2 days - I probably forgot.

For an approximate example, follow the Cooking with RWBY link in my signature.
You probably could just copy what I have in the 0.05a PC versionand modify it to suit your needs as its not archived.

Hey. Amazing. I've download your game and I think it's exactly what I need.

I really appreciate your help. I'll PM you for sure.

Hey,

You're right. Using the Legacy UI you just have to change this under the options.rpy:

## These control the width and height of the screen.

config.screen_width = 720
config.screen_height = 1280

It scales all the rest for you. Not the same with the new GUI.

I was writing a how-to on duplicating the gui I suggested, but I ran out of enthusiasm.

I plan to make the gui publicly available as a boilerplate once finished anyway.

Do feel free to contact me if you want help adjusting it to suit.
