Setting multiple LEDs to high simultaneous within a pattern

Couple of things:

  1. Don't use "Copy for Forum" in the IDE and "code" tags in the forum. Just copy and paste your code. Sound silly. It is. But everyone will appreciate it. (or change your "code" tags to "quote" tags)

  2. Do you actually need to turn on multiple pins at the same time? For visual effects, digitalWrite() with for loops is probably easier to implement and fast enough to fool the slow humans that see them.
