Menu/Game Settings
Settings are stored in a settings.txt file
Use the guide here (https://love2d.org/wiki/love.filesystem) to find its location on your system


Main file(main.lua)
Loads your settings - love.filesystem.load or the default setting is used
The game changes state(menu, levels...) with Gamestate.switch, a gamestate system (libs.hump.gamestate)
The music is set with love.audio
The game quits with love.event.push("quit")
