// TwinkleFOX: Twinkling 'holiday' lights that fade in and out.
// Colors are chosen from a palette; a few palettes are provided.
//
// This December 2015 implementation improves on the December 2014 version
// in several ways:
// - smoother fading, compatible with any colors and any palettes
// - easier control of twinkle speed and twinkle density
// - supports an optional 'background color'
// - takes even less RAM: zero RAM overhead per pixel
// - illustrates a couple of interesting techniques (uh oh...)
//
// The idea behind this (new) implementation is that there's one
// basic, repeating pattern that each pixel follows like a waveform:
// The brightness rises from 0..255 and then falls back down to 0.
// The brightness at any given point in time can be determined as
// as a function of time, for example:
// brightness = sine( time ); // a sine wave of brightness over time
//
// So the way this implementation works is that every pixel follows
// the exact same wave function over time. In this particular case,
// I chose a sawtooth triangle wave (triwave8) rather than a sine wave,
// but the idea is the same: brightness = triwave8( time ).
//
// Of course, if all the pixels used the exact same wave form, and
// if they all used the exact same 'clock' for their 'time base', all
// the pixels would brighten and dim at once -- which does not look
// like twinkling at all.
//
// So to achieve random-looking twinkling, each pixel is given a
// slightly different 'clock' signal. Some of the clocks run faster,
// some run slower, and each 'clock' also has a random offset from zero.
// The net result is that the 'clocks' for all the pixels are always out
// of sync from each other, producing a nice random distribution
// of twinkles.
//
// The 'clock speed adjustment' and 'time offset' for each pixel
// are generated randomly. One (normal) approach to implementing that
// would be to randomly generate the clock parameters for each pixel
// at startup, and store them in some arrays. However, that consumes
// a great deal of precious RAM, and it turns out to be totally
// unnessary! If the random number generate is 'seeded' with the
// same starting value every time, it will generate the same sequence
// of values every time. So the clock adjustment parameters for each
// pixel are 'stored' in a pseudo-random number generator! The PRNG
// is reset, and then the first numbers out of it are the clock
// adjustment parameters for the first pixel, the second numbers out
// of it are the parameters for the second pixel, and so on.
// In this way, we can 'store' a stable sequence of thousands of
// random clock adjustment parameters in literally two bytes of RAM.
//
// There's a little bit of fixed-point math involved in applying the
// clock speed adjustments, which are expressed in eighths. Each pixel's
// clock speed ranges from 8/8ths of the system clock (i.e. 1x) to
// 23/8ths of the system clock (i.e. nearly 3x).
//
// On a basic Arduino Uno or Leonardo, this code can twinkle 300+ pixels
// smoothly at over 50 updates per seond.
