   private static Vector2 viewPortSize = Vector2.Zero;
   private static Rectangle worldRectangle = new Rectangle(0, 0, 0, 0);
   #endregion

5. Add properties to the Camera class:

   #region Properties public static Vector2 Position { get { return position; } set { position = new Vector2( MathHelper.Clamp(value.X, worldRectangle.X, worldRectangle.Width - ViewPortWidth), ...
