When creating a class, assigning variables with self.variableName = value in the init function seemingly doesn't work. Any and all variables I attempt to create and modify turn up as nil values.
My main.lua is super simple and is based on the vscode playdate template
Any help would be greatly appreciated 
EDIT: This was because I was doing gfx.sprite:update() instead of gfx.sprite.update() 
Leaving this up for whoever comes across the same issue
