SpriteKit and SceneKit – How to completely pause a game?

Question

I succeeded to pause a scene game with this code:

override func touchesBegan(touches: NSSet!, withEvent event: UIEvent!) {

    var touch:UITouch = touches.

You can't add the SKLabelNode (or anything else) to your scene while the SKView is paused. You will need to return to the run loop so your text is added before pausing the game. Here's one way to do that:

// Add pause text or button to scene
addChild(pauseText)
let pauseAction = SKAction.run {
    self.view?.isPaused = true
}
self.run(pauseAction)
