Cocos2d - Setting Device/Screen Orientation

Question

I am new to the cocos2d API and have noticed that there are a few ways to set the screens orientation within the templates. I have not been able to figure out the correct wa

Answer 1

The answer here has changed with cocos2d 2.0, as CCDirector is now a ViewController on iOS:

CCDirector no longer supports device orientation. All autorotation and device orientation is handled by RootViewController now. Fortunately, [[UIDevice currentDevice] orientation] can be used in place of [[CCDirector sharedDirector] deviceOrientation]. The enums are the same, except that they begin with UI instead of CC.

Forcing a specific orientation is a simple matter of returning YES only to the desired orientation in the RootViewController method shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation.
