override func didMove(to view: SKView) {
        createButton()
        
    }

func createButton()
    {
        // Create a simple red rectangle that's 100x44
        button = SKSpriteNode(color: SKColor.red, size: CGSize(width: 100, height: 44))
        // Put it in the center of the scene
        button.position = CGPoint(x:self.frame.midX, y:self.frame.midY);
        
        self.addChild(button)
        
    }
    
    override func touchesEnded(_ touches: Set, with event: UIEvent?) {
        let touch = touches.first
        let touchLocation = touch!.location(in: self)
            // Check if the location of the touch is within the button's bounds
            if button.contains(touchLocation) {
                print("tapped!")
            }
        
    }
