You’ve already seen the title scene for Val’s Revenge, now it’s time to let the player see it. For that to happen, you’ll need to make some adjustments to the existing code.

Switch to the GameViewController.swift file and update the viewDidLoad() method to match this:

​ ​override​ ​func​ ​viewDidLoad​() {
​   ​super​.​viewDidLoad​()
​ 
​   ​// Create the view​
​   ​if​ ​let​ view = ​self​.view ​as!​ ​SKView​? {
​ 
​     ​// Create the scene​
​     ​let​ scene = ​TitleScene​(fileNamed: ​"TitleScene"​)
​ 
​     ​// Set the scale mode to scale to fill the view window​
​     scene?.scaleMode = .aspectFill
​ 
​     ​// Present the scene​
​     view.​presentScene​(scene)
​ 
​     ​// Set the view options​
​     view.ignoresSiblingOrder = ​false​
​     view.showsPhysics = ​false​
​     view.showsFPS = ​false​
​     view.showsNodeCount = ​false​
​   }
​ }

With this update, instead of loading the game scene as the initial scene, you’re now loading the title scene. Before you build and run the project, let’s get the first game scene working, too.
