Transition to a new scene (at the end of this frame).
|

Noble Engine-specific errors are called "Bonks." You can set this to true during development in order to check for more of them. However, it uses resources, so you will probably want to turn it off before release.

This sets the Playdate SDK method <code>playdate.graphics.sprite.setAlwaysRedraw</code>. See the Playdate SDK for details on how this function works, and the reasons you might want to set it as true or false for your project.
