I have a very basic understanding of Python and its various flavours, but I’m still very new to programming and have no idea how to do overly complex work.

I’m wanting to use a pi-pico to run neopixel sequences for a portal gun I’m building, and I’ve got the actual color sequences written out, but I don’t know how to best write them up to work with a two-position switch.

As it stands, I’ve got two separate programs written: blue_portal.py and orange_portal.py, and I’m wanting to use a hardware switch to tell the pico to swap between them to change the color. I know that the cleaner method would be to write them all up in one single file, but that is far beyond my current understanding of Python.

If someone could look at what I’ve got so far, and help me get everything properly merged into one clean file, I would greatly appreciate it.

Paste Bin of the Neopixel library, the example code I’m working from, and the two color sequences I’ve put together, for reference.
