Notes

Anything that is displayed on screen (aside from a window) is a view. GUI elements are just subclasses of CCView.
To create your own view type, create a function with the name of your new class and create a new CCView variable inside it. Then override the draw() method and add whatever code you want to use to draw onto the screen. Lastly, remember to return the new modified CCView from the function.
