   // Render portrait mode.
}

Returns

getPlatform

▸ getPlatform(): Platform

Gets the platform the game is running on. This is useful for platform specific code. For example, if you want to show a different social share asset on Facebook than on Link.

Example

const source = Wortal.session.getTrafficSource();
console.log(source['r_entrypoint']);
console.log(source['utm_source']);

Returns

TrafficSource

URL parameters attached to the game.

happyTime

▸ happyTime(): void

The happyTimeAsync method can be called on various player achievements (beating a boss, reaching a high score, etc.). It makes the website celebrate (for example by launching some confetti). There is no need to call this when a level is completed, or an item is obtained.

Example

// Player defeats a boss
Wortal.session.happyTime();

Returns

void

onOrientationChange

▸ onOrientationChange(callback): void

Assigns a callback to be invoked when the orientation of the device changes.

   }
});

Parameters
