I was searching for orientation of the screen
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Screen/orientation#Browser_compatibility
and I found it via https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4917664/detect-viewport-orientation-if-orientation-is-portrait-display-alert-message-ad#:~:text=When%20window.,you%20are%20in%20landscape%20mode.
for the moment ZIM only detects if it is a desktop or mobile.. integration of orientation also possible?
so something as TILT = deviceorientation
within the code
I need it for this can of app (so I made a toggle L - P Landscape-Portrait
here you see the tracking face + sliders + values and you can connect with real micro:bit
square cam screen: a small videoscreen, if you resize the cam comes above the sliders and values
will be at left side, right side sliders + values

When you make the app with the PWA tool it gives you the chance to set portrait, landscape or any. But this seems to lock the orientation only on Android - not on iOS (of course). So it would be up to the user to lock their device.

no I want to set a number of persons detected by skeleton, so the segment jumps from one people to an other, in a game only the biggest may be shown
fingers are not showing correctly when cam is on and moving
so this should work here
see idea chuwing gum , pops when full radius is there
should work with ml5js when mouth goes open
Hi @karelrosseel82 - bet that you message me problems like this rather than post them here. You can do that and delete these, I will answer in a message. Cheers.
happy say in Belgium there is a ZIM game with a prehistoric meg .. to learn kids to count, I remade the idea in a ZAPP
you need

asteroid game from television now in ZIM instead of in Scratch
video https://www.vrt.be/vrtmax/a-z/nerdland-voor-kleine-nerds/1/nerdland-voor-kleine-nerds-s1a2/
check here with dpad
in zimjs.org/slate kan je eigen games maken
met een new DPad() is een duim-pad, om met de duim te besturen
Tip: iedere keer je herstart kan staat de raket in dezelfde positie in het midden
Tip: de eerste asteroid is altijd rechts van de raket,...
and they do example with the dog also to change the rocket to make it funny
you can play the scratch game here
https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1257069444/editor
so here you can test with keyboard
as ml5js can be used to cutout, it can be easier now with ZIM to have as keyOut() also a cutOut() for pictures?
