-Nice and simple. Our project already has this added. The Init() function runs once when your game first executes, and this is where the viewport is created.
+Here the ''"ViewportList"'' refers to this section of the config file:

+[Main]
+ViewportList    = MainViewport

+You could also called ''orxViewport_CreateFromConfig'' on a static name:

 The "MainViewport" string parameter specified in that function is the same name as the ''[MainViewport]'' section in the config.

 Because the camera was specified in the ''[MainViewport]'' section, we do not need to create a camera in code.
-Final thing for this step is to name our game. This name will show in the window title. Set this with the ''Title'' property in the ''[Display]'' section. Also while you are here, set the ''Smoothing'' to false:
