For Constibutor

My extension is not a duplicate of Orientation Checker. That one is reactive — it only detects the current orientation and lets the developer show an object/message if the game is being played in the wrong orientation.

By contrast, my extension is proactive — it uses the Screen Orientation API to force the game into either portrait or landscape mode. This is a different use case: instead of just warning the player, it actually locks the orientation.

Thank you, If there's somethings for changing. I'm ready to work on that, I'm also sorry but I had to reopen it because the other one was closed before I can explain.
