WP8 landscape mode for Construct2 game?

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?

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

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" />
