You can waste whole variables instead of using bits. That's one way to make it simpler.

Variable:

Bit:

I used bits in my example program instead of wasting variables. For example, instead of using a = 1 or a = 255, I used little itty bitty bits to do the same thing. Using a bit instead of a variable whenever you can saves precious variables.

The problem with using bits is that it can be harder for a new user to understand.
