Ok, this demo of the concept is WAY overkill. But it demos most of the potential ways to use this. Has KITT, Spirals, SlowShifts, pulses, and more. I should enter this as my ‘art on the wall’ but I actually have better taste than this.

Multiple Maps, multiple patterns - by ScruffyNerf beta v0.9
inspired by various code bits by zranger, Jeff Vyduna and Ben Hencke
Spiral Code Pattern by ChrisNZ
While single strips or 3d maps could be used, that's beyond this demo, but the principle is the same.
Requirements: Matrix with a 2D map
This allows you to split a matrix of any size into multiple sub maps, by formula (to carve the range up),
and can run different patterns on each. (You could even change patterns, over time, not implemented here)
Consolidate any code needed from beforerender() into a single function (because it's not index/map based),
but you can run entirely different render() codes for each pattern
Remapping x/y values can either be renormalized (the new map is now 0..1)
OR retain the partial map (so perhaps x=0.5->1,y=0.5->1)

Running on a 16x16 panel, I’m getting 33FPS, not bad for running 6 different patterns, overlapping some…
I stripped out a few Spiral controls, and borrowed 2 of the 3 sliders left to use for timing on other patterns.
Note the spiral is overlapped by the green and blue, but not the red KITT, it’s also renormalized, and thinks it’s running on a smaller area… Blue and Green show other patterns underneath if they aren’t lit, and Green is behind Blue.
it’s hella noisy, but it’s a good demo of the ability to run multiple patterns AND multiple maps, with very little rewriting of the originals. I did use globals to make code cleaner, and not be passing X and Ys all over, so most of the code rewriting was for that. (I used the fancy new arrayless KITT too)
