Disk Defrag-Style Animation on M5Stack Core2

Back in the day, there was something oddly soothing about mindlessly watching a hard disk defragment. Inspired by that, I made an animation mimicking it on the M5Stack Core 2.

Supported devices: M5Stack Core2/Basic/Gray/Fire/CoreS3/CoreS3SE/Tab5

Note: Do not touch the device during the defrag — you’ll see what happens if you do—haha!
