NeoPixel library extended example

I followed this example to hook my Raspberry Pi 3 to a strip of WS2812B (60 LED per meter):
I started with the example code provided from the "WS281X Library":
and added the various functions from this Arduino tutorial:
as well as some of my own things.
#
Here is an example video of the various functions:
#
My Raspberry Pi setup is just the 'Raspbian Stretch With Desktop':
I ran "sudo apt-get install xrdp" so I could remote into it to from my computer edit the python files and run it from a terminal.
I also enabled SSH.
#
To run it, I start a terminal, navigate to the folder with the files, and use the command: sudo python main.py

Note: This was my first Raspberry Pi + GPIO project, my frist time with Python, and my first contribution to GitHub.
