macOS - After closing the main window, there's no way to bring it back #65
Description
What happens
Under macOS, if a person closes the main window, the music of the game still plays, but there's no way to bring the window back. One can show/hide the Gamepad window with no problem, but the main window remains inaccessible. The only way to fix this is by Command+Q to close the app and open it again, but this loses progress on unsaved files.
Suggestion: if one closes the main window, terminate the app.
Steps to reproduce
- Close the main window.

Save State and Quit writes save state slot 1 first, which you can load from the Save States menu next time. On the title screen it quits without asking. Closing the GamePad window still only hides it (⌘G brings it back). If you'd rather never be asked, start the game with

This is in v0.2.8: closing the TV window (its close button or ⌘W) now quits the game, as on Windows and Linux. While a save file is being played it asks first: Quit, Cancel (keep playing) or Save State and Quit. Closing the GamePad window still only hides it (⌘G brings it back).
