<code class="sig">Screen.status(text)</code>
<div class="desc"><p>Sets a single persistent line of status text that the runtime displays outside your normal drawing — a lightweight HUD line for debugging or a title-bar style message. Unlike <code>Screen.draw_text</code>, it is not part of the framebuffer you clear and present each frame: you set it once (or whenever it changes) and it persists until you set it again. Use it for coarse status such as the current level, connection state, or a frame-rate readout while iterating. It takes a single string argument.</p></div>
