HTML5 Canvas Game- Disappearing Elements

I'm toying with simple game creation using the canvas, and I've created a simple setup on JSBin. It uses the arrow keys to move the player around and collect gold that respawns thereafter. Everything works great.

EXCEPT. When I initially run the code, the player and gold squares flash on the canvas, then disappear. They will only reappear after all four arrow keys have been pressed in turn. I have determined that the issue is in my update function where I'm checking the down variables, but I'm not sure what I should be doing differently. I welcome your insight and wisdom.

You've forgotten to declare the leftDown,upDown,downDown,rightDown variables so your update() fails when trying to use rightdown

Fix: declare those variables:

var leftDown,upDown,downDown,rightDown;
