2D - Update of legacy Effects

[lost-hope]

Here some ideas, some might be too complex, some are easier:

Ideas / TODO:

• [ ] Tetrix

  Having actual tetris like block falling down.

• [x] Fireworks

  Have rockets fly up (small arced trail) and explode in a circle or without fly trail

• [ ] Heartbeat

  EKG line with slight variation in width

• [ ] Lightning

  having lighning come down vom the top of the matrx

• [x] Sparkle / Sparkle Dark / Sparkle +

  single led Sparkle instead of line

• [x] Rain

  having a small ring going out from the drop impact point

New Effects:

• [ ] DVD bouncing

  having a small tile bounce around in the matrix like the old DVD screensaver

• [x] Fixed text in scrolling text effect when the string fits on the matrix

• [x] Scrolling text

• [x] Drip

• [x] Glitter/Solid Glitter

• [x] PopCorn

• [] PopCorn

  Backlog:

• [ ] Tetrix

  Having actual tetris like block falling down. I will not be implementing proper Tetris since it would require too much memory using current approach. If it is rewritten from scratch it may be implemented in full using leds[] array.

Comment when you have made some of them, so i can tick them off. and i can add other ideas to the list that are mentioned via comments

You are pushing it now. 😁

Please add to the list:

• Drip
• Glitter/Solid Glitter
• PopCorn

Rain effect is based on Fireworks (not Starburst or 1D variant) which has been made 2D aware. Unfortunately Rain uses a hack to make raindrops from firework bursts which is incompatible with 2D in it's current implementation. The best replacement ATM is 2D Matrix effect.

Similarly Heartbeat can be (very roughly) approximated using 2D Pulser effect.

[blazoncek]

Rain also done. DVD bouncing is a new effect that may be done by someone else (a similar effect is in place as Floating Blobs)

I am doing a comparison with SR, remarks added here (wip): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QbdNxfEyChrEVqmwOR3enplfZ3xK8wxHd6MSFPeOfE0/edit#gid=0

Feel free to add additional remarks in the additional remarks column.

Even though not all effects above were made 2D aware I am closing this issue since @ewoudwijma implemented pixel mapping available in 1e4f8be74b7fbc7c0e68b96d7b215527d519647c This introduces a new dimension to legacy effects in a simple way.
