My first attempt to write some (micro)Python code. Fireflies. This leds simulate fireflies in the air… btw. I found that display.get_pixel does not return the correct value for the brightness of a led on a micro:bit. I created this function to correct this behavior in the code (fixPixelBug). https://github.com/marc0janssen/microbit-fireflies/blob/main/fireflies%20v2.py
