Editing Alpha Branch/Word width

Turing Complete allows for components and wires of any size from 1 through 64 bits, primarily for the sake of convenience (eg: placing a single 64-bit word <code>AND</code> rather than 64 individual 1-bit <code>AND</code> gates).

In prior iterations of the game, there were individual components with fixed 1, 8, 16, 32 or 64 bit widths.  In the modern version however, all but the 1-bit components have been combined into a single set of "word" components with configurable widths:

The little bubble on the top left corner (in default orientation) is the component bit width - <code>8</code> in the <code>AND</code> example image.  Clicking on that bubble brings up the width editor:

Most components accept values between 2 and 64 (inclusive).  The corresponding bit components are required for 1-bit "words".

== Width Inference ==
Many components also accept the value <code>x</code>.  This value tells the component to chose its width based on the width of the values on its input wires.  For example:

This is especially useful when creating custom components, as the <code>Input Pin</code> is one of the components that allows <code>x</code> width.  For example, if we wanted the opposite of a <code>MUX</code> (demultiplexer or <code>DEMUX</code>), we could build a custom component similar to the following:

Description	What you type	What you get
Italic	''Italic text''	Italic text
Bold	'''Bold text'''	Bold text
Bold & italic	'''''Bold & italic text'''''	*Bold & italic text*
