   Anyone got a sample with the game stage added to a view controller instead of appdelegate working in landscape mode?

   I can't seem to get landscape mode working right when the game is added to a view controller Any sprite added to the game stage gets cropped at the (height - width) of the landscape screen.

   Hm, sorry, I have no sample lying around -- anyone else? (I'm always fighting with this as well ...)

   If the game stage is cropped, have a look at the "bounds" and "frame" properties of "SPView". If the whole view is rotated (as it will be per default by the controller, I think), then it should have a width of 480 and a height of 320.

   I finally figured it out

   The sparrow view needs to be constructed with the autoresizing mask and content mode set as follows:

   CGRect frame = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds];
       sparrowView_ = [ [ [SPView alloc] initWithFrame:frame] autorelease];
       sparrowView_.autoresizingMask = (UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight);
       sparrowView_.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit;
       sparrowView_.clipsToBounds = YES;

   And one uses a pivot sprite in the game class to rotate and rescale as follows:

       pivot_ = [[SPSprite alloc] init];
       [self addChild:pivot_];
    
       pivot_.x = 0;
       pivot_.y = height_;
       pivot_.rotation = SP_D2R(-90);
       pivot_.scaleY = width_ / height_;
       pivot_.scaleX = height_ / width_;
