Probably a noob question here, I'm still getting started with all of these cool new toys :D, but this doesnt seem to be working:

Code: 
startButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
[startButton setTitle:@"Start Game" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
startButton.bounds = CGRectMake(120, 200, 80, 20);
		
[self addSubview:startButton];
Am i missing something simple?

Where are you calling this? In which view? Is that the view being displayed? Have you used the debugger to see if your code is getting called?

You don't want to set the bounds of your button like you are - you want the frame.

Code: 
startButton.frame = CGRectMake(120, 200, 80, 20);

Read this page for more info on the distinction:

Keep in mind that 0,0 on the iPhone coordinate system is the top-left, not bottom-left (unlike is reflected in that article).

Aha, i was wondering why the button liked to chill in the corner there, hehe.. Thanks for the tip!
