The place where the action of the game takes place.
 
In almost all recent games (except [[Interactive Fiction]] and [[Role -Playing Game]]), the '''Main Window''' takes up the entire viewport of the game, and is usually overlaid with a [[HUD]].
 
In a first-person game (such as an [[FPS]]), this window will show what the player character is looking at. In a third person game, the image is generally rendered from the point of view of an imaginary camera which is always centered on the player character. The control axes of the game generally follow the orientation of the display on the main window—which can make precision maneuvers difficult if the camera moves suddenly (Some games do use this point of view with character-relative control axes, which make it easy to move in a straight line, but can easily disorient the player).
