Remember, everything in Cocos2d is, at its base, a CCNode object. Nodes can have other nodes as children. For example, if you wish to create a character with a jetpack attached, the character can be a CCSprite object (a node object with an image) and the jetpack can be a CCSprite object as a child of the character.

Anyway, this is a chapter about prototypes, and we've yet to create any real gameplay. Let's get that going with a few images, some touch controls, and much more.

CCSprite *board = [CCSprite spriteWithImageNamed:@"imgBoard.png"];
board.position = ccp(winSize.width * 0.625, winSize.height/2);
[self addChild:board];
