Why are there so many .ino files?

This is probably very cool software, but the collection of .ino files is unlike any other Arduino sketch I have ever seen. It is unclear which one actually is the sketch.

By the way, .ino files need to be in a directory that has the same name as the .ino file. Also it would be nice if the README.md would say more than "First compile and flash to ESP8266 using the arduino IDE", e.g., which file to open in the Arduino IDE and to compile.

I was laughing about this post recently. I might frame it as a great description of my first project!!!

Work is underway on a rather major rewrite of all aspects of this project. I'm encapsulating the whole thing into various libraries, to attempt to make the running of effects hopefully more simple, but at the same time flexible. I've written an effects manager that takes care of effects switching. Now I'm working on an actual effectobject manager that should, hopefully allow you to have all sorts of effects running at the same time be it blobs, squares, snakes, all at different speeds if you want that is.

unfortunately... this is my first attempt at object orientated programming, and it a different beast to straight c..

anyways I thought I'd keep you updated.
