I know that it might not be a huge change or optimization for games but I think for good practice, I think other variable types should be included in private variables.. like 'boolean', etc.. even 'image'

I don't feel too good with having an integer variable for a boolean, maybe it's just me who got used to having true/fasle

Image is basically two-dimensional array of RGB values, and I think that there is already a array data type?

A Boolean variable type is certainly easy to do, but what would Image be used for?

what is boolean?

does it have anything to do with cutting holes in stuff, like in 3d modeling?

In a language like C++, the boolean variable type holds true and false. Use it a fair bit to check for win/lose situations, or whether or not a loop is running. For that kind of thing it'd be quite useful.

As for Boolean modifiers in 3D modelling, http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Manual/Booleans might explain it a bit more.
