   Hi

   I've just started to use sparrow, actually I am making a scrolling game and could not decide that which framework is better for me.I experienced cocos2d and trying to do same things in sparrow.

   My game will work only in landscape mode.The problem is that I'am adding a background to the stage in landscape mode but it looks like rotated 90 degree.I have to rotate it and then I'm moving it on x axis but it's going up to down.I hope,I can explain it clearly

   I'm not sure if this is an answer to your question, but have you seen this tutorial on how to use sparrow in landscape mode? http://wiki.sparrow-framework.org/tutorials/using_landscape_mode

   Just finished a game for iPad and iPhone in landscape mode. I pulled down the Sparrow+SupportPadResolution.h file. Then added this to my appDelegate.

       float stageWidth;
       float stageWidth;
       float stageHeight;
       if ([SPUtils isDevicePad] == NO) {
           stageWidth = 480;
           stageHeight = 320;
       } else {
           stageWidth = 1024;
           stageHeight = 768;
       }
       Game *game = [[Game alloc] initWithWidth:stageHeight height:stageWidth];

   Then in the implementation of Game I added the following code for my background:

           // mContents is the main sprite, all the game's displayPbjects
           // are children of it. Since the game is played in landscape
           // format, it is rotated by 90 degrees.
           mContents = [[SPSprite alloc] init];
           mContents.rotation = SP_D2R(-90);
           mContents.x = 0;
           if ([SPUtils isDevicePad] == NO) {
               mContents.y = 480;
               stageWidth  = 480;
               stageHeight = 320;
    
           } else {
               mContents.y = 1024;
               stageWidth  = 1024;
               stageHeight = 768;
           }
    
           [self addChild:mContents];  // self is the stage
           [mContents release];

   To add sprites in Landscape mode I then implemented the following:

       playFieldSprite = [[SPSprite sprite] init];
       playFieldSprite.rotation = SP_D2R(-90);
       playFieldSprite.x = 0;
       if ([SPUtils isDevicePad] == NO) {
           playFieldSprite.y=480;;
       } else {
           playFieldSprite.y=1024;
       }
       // add the playing field to the stage
       [self addChild:playFieldSprite];

   ... and added sprites as follows:

       [playFieldSprite addChild:(SPDisplayObject *)];
