### DefineViewports("mode", mode, "viewport", {mapx, mapy}, ...)

Define the viewports. Only used in savegames, but could be useful for scenarios.

"mode", number
  Number corresponding to the viewport mode. See the ViewportMode enum. FIXME
"viewport", {mapx, mapy}
  X, Y coordinate of the map tile.

#### Example

    -- Defines the viewports to use mode 1 (split horizontal) with the first
    -- viewport having map coordinates 82,31 and the second having coordinates 64,31.
    DefineViewports("mode", 1, "viewport", {82, 31},
                               "viewport", {64, 31})

### SetGameCursor("cursor-ident")

Set the game cursor.

"cursor-ident"
  Unique identifier of the cursor.

#### Example

    -- Set the game cursor to 'cursor-point'.
    SetGameCursor("cursor-point")
