Rgb Led Colors

Basically, to use the program flow in this code, you need to break what you see going on there into distinct frames. Then replace the loop with calls to each frame function followed by draw.

Frames are snapshots of the cube evenly spaced in time. The more frames you have, the 'smoother' the animation will look, but the more flash memory the program will take. In the frame functions (e.g. Box, box2, box3) of your example, the bits that are set to '1' in the frame buffer (i.e. The cube array variable) are the LEDs that are on in that frame, and those that are set to '0' are off in that frame.

Each layer has 8 LEDs, so there is one bit per LED. You just have to map out and your LED pattern per frame. Creating the hard-coded frame functions can be done by hand in this manner, by scripting the frame sequence. I think there are examples out there of people who have delegated this part to a PC that sends frames to the Arduino over the serial port to get more elaborate / smoother animations without having to store all the frame functions in the flash.
