App should be locked in landscape mode

Yes, I have been thinking of this issue a bit already. For people that have a
physical keyboard and no intention to play using a virtual one, what you say
definitely makes sense. But, for users with no physical keyboard, the portrait 
mode
with a virtual keyboard at the bottom, a scrollable map area, and locked
message/status bars seems like an attractive setup which I'm working on for the 
next
version. I do know how to lock into landscape mode through the properties of the
Android Activity, but I haven't checked yet how to do it through code, which 
would be
needed to make it an option. I hope to get something like this in an update 
some time
soon.

This works a bit differently in the new 1.2.1 version, which is much more able 
to make the game fit and be playable in either portrait or landscape mode. 
There is still no option to lock it into one or the other, though, so I suppose 
we can keep this issue open as I've been thinking of adding one in the future.

In version 1.2.4, you can go to Menu/Preferences and set the Orientation to 
Landscape, if you want to prevent it from ever going into portrait mode. Hope 
that works for you.
