Time for action – displaying the welcome label

Now that we have a world displayed, let's welcome it! Refer to the following steps:

1. Open the FirstScene.m file and add the following code in the init method, right after the [self addChild:earth]; line.

   //1
   CCLabelTTF* welcome = 
     [CCLabelTTF labelWithString:@"Hello!"
     fontName:@"Helvetica"
     fontSize:32];
   
   //2
   welcome.position = ccp(winSize.width  / 2.0f, 
     winSize.height * 0.9f);
   
   //3
   [self addChild:welcome];

2. Build and run the project.
