Can you tell me something about setbit()/getbit()?

The manual says: "setbit(x, n, b)

Set the nth bit of x represented as a 32-bit integer to b (either 0 or 1). The resulting 32-bit integer is returned."

But I don't understand this.

Do you perhaps have 2 examples of when the use of setbit()/getbit() seems useful? Perhaps this gets me to understand the use of setbit/getbit.

Thanks!

I mostly use it in multiplayer games when i need to network a whole bunch of booleans

So in this event here it looks for the character being on the floor or touching a wall,

if it is, look at virtual controller inputs and decide to mirror or not the character based on the joystick orientation and otherwise do nothing and set the variable inputs to inputs (itself)

that way i only need to network the variable (inputs) as a 1byte and it has a bunch of information about the character such as it'S inputs and state.

Here's another example where I do bitwise autotilling with a dictionary object

by setting certain bits on and off it turns the variable into a number, and i can use that number to get the animation frame i want for my sprites to get this project to work drive.google.com/file/d/1ph2Ww-GcK_M1NdE57T1Ubk-YH_S9PB4R/view

anyways, setbit and getbit are very cool, and I wish it were possible to also shift bits so I could network input buffers but I guess you can with some javascript !
