Some ready-to-use LED effects where created for Swarm in Blocks

For easier and more practical led effects on the clover swarm, we created some ready-to-use effects for the formations, they are:
All Drones LED Effect
Random Drones LED Effect
Even Drones LED Effect
Odd Drones LED Effect
2D Formation LED Effect
For a better visualization for the user we increased the size of the led ring bulbs, here is the new size of the ring light:
All these events are based on some pre-established functions and are selected by the user input in the LED functions. The effects list and a short explanation about them are ahead.
Fill: All the LEDs stay turned on in the same color
Fade: The LEDs will turn on and then turn off slowly, fading
Flash: The lights will blink a few times and then keep off
Blink: The LEDs will stay blinking in a determined frequency
Blink Fast: It's equal to the Blink Effect, but with a higher frequency
Wipe: The lights are turned on progressively, doing a circular motion
Rainbow: The LEDs of each drone make a rainbow, with multiple colors
Rainbow Fill: Similar to the Rainbow Effect, but the lights are the same
All drones assume the same color and effect, which are defined by the user.
In this mode, all drones assume the same effect, but each one has a different color, generated automatically and randomly.
For the Odd effect, all drones with an odd ID will turn on a LED with the selected effects and details. The same applies to drones with Even IDs.
Each formation has an unique color effect already programmed, the user just defines the effect that will be applied and the colors that will be applied for each case, like in square the user defines 2 colors, in a cube the user defines the effect based on the number of layers that the cube has.
