How to properly make a subclass of SKShapeNode

Am trying to subclass SKShapeNode yet it never appears. I followed it into the debugger and am going through the init method, with the parameters I send in. But obviously I'm doing something wrong.

Here is my declaration and my call. The self element in the call is from the background pic. It works if I create an SKShapeNode directly using the same parameters. But would like to subclass this so I can add custom methods and properties:

Thank you

Code Block class PegBase : SKShapeNode {
		init(rectOfPegBase: CGSize) {
		    super.init()
	    	self.fillColor = SKColor.red
		    self.strokeColor = SKColor.red
		    self.zPosition = 0
			}
   			required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
       		fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
   		 }
}
let childP = PegBase(rectOfPegBase: CGSize(width: 
		self.size.width * 0.8, height: self.size.height * 0.2))
        self.addChild(childP)

Finally found the answer to this, after a long time, and after a lot of searching. Originally wanted to do it with SKSpriteNode. And Apple's Dox did say there were plenty of init options. Well the one thing I never thought to try was passing a nil to one of the defined init parameters. And that was that.

Code Block class GuessSlot : SKSpriteNode{
   init(color: SKColor, size: CGSize) {
       super.init(texture: nil, color: color, size: size)
   }
   required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        super.init(coder: aDecoder)
   }
}
