giving the option of stopping the game in matlab

One way to provide the option of stopping the game in MATLAB is to implement a keyboard listener that checks if a specific key has been pressed by the user. For example, you can use the "keydownfcn" callback function to detect if the user has pressed the "Esc" key.

Here is an example code snippet:

main.m
function myGame()

% create the game window and setup the game
% ...

% create a figure object and set the callback function
fig = gcf;
set(fig, 'KeyPressFcn', @onKeyPress);

% main game loop
while true
   % update the game
   % ...

   % check if the game should be stopped
   if shouldStopGame()
      break;
   end
end

% cleanup code
% ...

% keyboard listener function
function onKeyPress(~, event)
   if strcmp(event.Key, 'escape')
      stopGame();
   end
end

% helper function to check if the game should be stopped
function shouldStop = shouldStopGame()
   shouldStop = false;
   % check if the game should be stopped
   % ...
end

% helper function to stop the game
function stopGame()
   % perform any necessary cleanup
   % ...
   delete(fig);
end

end

In this example, the myGame function sets up the game window, creates a figure object, and enters the main game loop. The onKeyPress function is set as the key press callback for the figure object and checks if the user has pressed the "Esc" key. If the "Esc" key is pressed, the stopGame function is called to perform any necessary cleanup and stop the game. The shouldStopGame function is called in each iteration of the game loop to check if the game should be stopped. This function can include any condition that determines when the game should be stopped. Finally, the myGame function deletes the figure object to close the game window and exit the function.

Note that this is just an example and the exact implementation will depend on the specific requirements of your game.
