I built a 3D game about my Nigerian childhood (and I'm not a game developer)

Описание и применение

Игра была застряла на экране «Поверните телефон» из-за отсутствия события ориентации в встроенных браузерах приложений. Решение: периодически проверять размеры экрана и перестроить игру под вертикальный режим, что снизило отток пользователей.

Задача

The game was stuck on a rotate‑screen prompt when opened from app browsers, causing many players to leave without playing.

Результат

The orientation bug was fixed by polling screen size and redesigning for upright play, improving player retention and reducing bounce rate.

Рабочий процесс

• Detect orientation change via event listener
• Poll screen dimensions every 500 ms as fallback
• Rebuild UI to support upright orientation
• Test on real phones within app browsers
• Deploy updated build

Доказательства

The quick fix was to check the screen's width and height every half second instead of waiting for a rotation event.

Источник

The game was stuck on “Turn your phone sideways to play” even after turning their phone.
