This module lets you lock (or unlock) the orientation of the game at any time.

lockorient.lockOrientation:Void(landscape:Bool, portrait:Bool, landscapeFlipped:Bool, portraitFlipped:Bool)
Lock to most any combination of orientations.​

Demo: The included demo.cxs locks the orientation to different values when you tap the screen.

Install: extract the zip file inside the modules_ext folder inside your Cerberus X installation folder.

License: zlib/libpng (see included license.txt)

But... why? You can just set the orientation in AndroidManifest.xml and forget about it.
I really never saw an app/game that needed to 'lock' orientation on the fly...

(I'm honestly asking - would like to know a use case for this!)
 
I mostly plan to make 3D platformer/shooter/action games with Cerberus X. I noticed once when working on one of my games before that it would be pretty cool to play them in portrait (kinda like a gameboy with the buttons below the game view), but I know this would annoy some players, so I'm going to offer a lock to landscape on/off setting.
