PSoC 5LP Reading Pins

I am very new to PSoC, and have very limited experience with C++, and none with C. I am trying to read the signal on a pin and toggle a boolean value to change the blinking speed of an external LED. Here's the code:

int main()
{
    bool button1;
    LCD_Char_Start();
    LCD_Char_PrintString("Hola Mundo!");

    for(;;)
    {
        if(CyPins_ReadPin(Pin_1_0) !=0) {
            button1 = !button1;
            CyDelay(100);
        }
        if(button1) {
            CyDelay(1000u);
        } else {
            CyDelay(250u);
        }
        P0_0_Write(!P0_0_Read());
    }
}

The CyPins thing I got from another thread and the LCD stuff is from the Hello World example project. The LCD doesn't work though. I also kept include project.h and added stdbool.h for booleans. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

Edit: I should probably mention I have the CY8CKIT-059 and if it matters to mention too, the chip is the CY8C5888LTI-LP097.
