Comment on Adding polygon map overlays by Shawn Grimes

This single post just saved me hours thank you!

My game is in landscape mode (cocos2d 0.99.5) but the actionSheet keeps popping up portrait from the right.

Currently have no autorotation (other viewcontrollers in game all work fine like this).

#define GAME_AUTOROTATION kGameAutorotationNone

Thanks!
