To create a HUD, do something like the following:

// SKContainerOverlay is a class which inherits from SKScene

    SKContainerOverlay *skContainerOverlay = [[SKContainerOverlay alloc] initWithSize:self.sceneView.bounds.size];
    self.sceneView.overlaySKScene = skContainerOverlay;
    self.sceneView.overlaySKScene.hidden = NO;
    self.sceneView.overlaySKScene.scaleMode = SKSceneScaleModeResizeFill; // Make sure SKScene bounds are the same as our SCNScene
    self.sceneView.overlaySKScene.userInteractionEnabled = YES;

You can create all your SKLabelNode objects inside the custom SKContainerOverlay class.
