Need a trippy color spiral for your matrix? I gotcha covered.
I'm not aware of any general significance of DrawOneFrame functions. They don't invoke any particular FastLED behaviour. For projects where a variety of different effects can be presented, the author may choose to use C++ classes to provide a standard interface to initialise and display those effects. In my WavyDots sketch, that function name is a vestige of such a choice. The Aurora project does something similar. So does the Striptease project, but there the DrawOneFrame function is simply called loop.

Any repository of perpetual 2D effects? (E.g. game of life, fractals, mathematical functions, etc.)
I have a repo with a few such effects. They are not intended for FastLED, but wouldn't require much effort to get working with FastLED. Video.

Supersample CRGB array
On the T4 I found I can completely fill the screen with them: ~8,000 Wu pixels per frame at ~80 FPS. Is the current speed hampering you on ESP32?
