Time for action — first changes to the OnCreate method

Inside the OnCreate method of a monkey app, you basically set up the game. For example, loading some graphics can be done here:

First set the update rate of the game to 60 frames per second.
```
Method OnCreate:Int()
SetUpdateRate(60)
```
Now, create an instance of the engine class.
```
eng = New engine
```
We want to work with a virtual resolution and let the fantomEngine take care of the scaling of our graphics and touch events.
Set the virtual canvas size to 480 x 800 with a call to the SetCanvasSize method.
```
eng.SetCanvasSize(480,800)
```
Load the texture atlas of the atom elements.
```
atlas = LoadImage("CR_Tiles.png")
```

Set the font1 object with our bitmap font.

font1 = eng.LoadFont("cr_font")
Return 0
End
