Well, I got the board on the BoardView in a not so superficial way, but a parent cannot draw over a subView, only under it. In other words, I think that the pente_board_2.png and the grid code are going to have to go in separate classes. I created a CSPGridView Class for this to put overtop of the BoardView, but the running product doesn't seem to care about it for whatever reason. I did manage to get my grid of bumps on, though (the top right one looks a bit funny, are two bumps maybe occupying that place at the same time?)
