Example code: Single file examples: audio.lua: Can't see rendered text instructions

SDK Bug Reports
1

The single file example audio.lua in the SDK examples, has the following code:

playdate.graphics.setImageDrawMode(playdate.graphics.kDrawModeFillWhite)
playdate.graphics.drawText("Press A or B to play sounds", 95, 100)

which confused me, because when I ran it you just get a blank screen.

It's a minor issue, but got me running around trying to understand what was going wrong.

I added the following code to fix it:

function playdate.update() end  -- prevents main.lua from rendering text 
-- draws a black background
playdate.graphics.setColor(playdate.graphics.kColorBlack)
playdate.graphics.fillRect(0, 0, 400, 240)

Low priority, but maybe update the example so someone else doesn't get confused. Although arguably that confusion made me understand things better... so maybe it's working as intended :smiley:

Thanks for the report! We'll get this fixed.
