Can anyone list the various inputs that will be usable by the circuit system? I am in the process of planning a simple 16-Bit (maybe 32, haven't decided yet) computer, and I had this idea to get it to play pong using lights, but I have no idea what I would use for player input. I would love if there were pressure plates or some such that detect the player standing on them, but I don't think that's in the plans... any ideas?

There are plans for additional inputs, but the 0.12 schedule is pretty tight, so additional inputs have to wait until 0.13

I can't express how excited I am.

If I might venture two suggestions, I would love to see a variation on the switch that acts as a button so it pulses a tick of a given signal on each press.
I would also love to have signs of some sort, maybe like wooden 1x1 tiles that can be placed and display a letter each. Labeling circuits would be really useful I think.
