Notes

Scancodes are keyboard layout-independent, so the scancode "w" will be used if the key in the same place as the "w" key on an American keyboard is pressed, no matter what the key is labelled or what the user's operating system settings are.

Exit the game when the player releases the Escape key, using love.event.quit.

function love.keyreleased(key)
   if key == "escape" then
      love.event.quit()
   end
