/**
* Keyboard Functions
* by Martin Gomez
*
* Click on the window to give it focus and press the letter keys to type colors.
* The keyboard function keyPressed() is called whenever
* a key is pressed. keyReleased() is another keyboard
* function that is called when a key is released.
*
* Original 'Color Typewriter' concept by John Maeda.
