2025-05-14 (W) QuarterRoundWS2812BArray Filling up on seconds

I copied the function that drew a line and converted it to turn green, then left red in its wake. The clock face reset each rotation and turned off all the lights, so instead of resetting, I turned on every light in the first seven rings to green and let the hand change them to red. The effect was greatly improved, but I liked the effect better when the "hand" was invisible, and I let the expired lights change to red.

I mapped out how I want to approach an hour hand, which will "extend" to the fifth ring and have two LEDs at the end. It will always point directly at the present hour, so 12:59 will still show the hour hand pointing straight up. I made a list of the relevant LED addresses. I also want to create a function that calculates every light on the face at any time. The clock will show a partially illuminated face whenever I start it, and the processing power to calculate every pixel is far below what this microcontroller can handle.
