Code structure

The split flap is made up of a 2D array of split flaps called Bits. The BitArray class controls all of the bits from one place. This is where you would print anything to the screen, or do any animations. Create a new BitArray object, and call the functions inside to change what is displayed on the screen.

display_layered_strings() is the highest level function for printing to the screen, printing an array of strings in any formatting you would like (see the docstring for more info)

Many different functions have been created to make writing to the screen as easy as possible.
