Do you know about the Screen Orientation Checker? What are the differences with your solution?

Hello there,
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.

To avoid confusion, I’m happy to rename the extension to something clearer like “Orientation Lock” or “Force Orientation”. I can also expand the description to explain how it differs from Orientation Checker.

I believe this makes it complementary rather than a duplicate.
