Well... Actually we're in feature freeze mode. So please, try to stay
away from bigger changes in last minute. We may just get not enough
time to fix them. Though anyway there could be 0.8.1 as usual :)

Also there are text input dialogs in saga and gob engines.

Both sword1 demo and sword2 demo as well as ITE demo support saves, so
that means that you can test your changes with them.

Though if you have support for gob engine (status of your port isn't
known yet) then you will need a full game since demo has hardcoded list
of levels to choose from. From the other hand support for keyboard
there is essential since game doesn't have saves but offers level codes.

Only at specific places in the game. Didn't play Simon much by myself
though to tell you exactly where they are located.
