Having little issues getting started with Noble

[erickwatson]

Hi there!

I'm a fairly basic coder, mostly experienced in C# and Notepad++, not really experienced with Lua but I've got a Playdate now so I wanted to give it a crack!
I've followed the instructions to the best of my abilities, and am embarking on my adventure reading the docs and seeing what's the deal.
I've got VSCode hooked up so as to launch the Simulator on Run, and have successfully run the example scene, so I'm taking my first steps, and in the docs it has this string:

new(StartingScene[, __launcherTransitionDuration=1.5[, __launcherTransition=Noble.Transition.DipToBlack[, __launcherTransitionProperties={}[, __configuration={}[, __sceneProperties={}]]]]])

It says "Engine initialization. Run this once in your main.lua file to begin your game."
I put an import 'scenes'/StartingScene' in main, copy/pasted the above string into the main, and the error I'm getting is:

error: l:/Github/CureThis/source/main.lua:19: unexpected symbol near ','

Unsure how to proceed or what I'm doing wrong, and then there's the many other errors down the line, all unique in some way:

Any help is appreciated!
