3. Building our First Game: Breakout > Configuring the application
This tutorial is compatible for both iOS and Android devices. The graphics have been designed to accommodate the varying screen dimensions of both platforms.
By default, all items displayed on all device screens are shown in portrait mode. We'll be creating this game specifically in landscape mode, so we'll have to alter some build settings and configure how all the items on screen will be displayed. Playing the game in landscape mode will actually add more player interactivity since the paddle will have more screen space to move about and less airtime for the ball.
