I've been trying to write some effects for a strip of RGB LEDs to be controlled via an Arduino Uno R3. For context, I'm working on the animation of a ball (a set of 5 LEDs) moving backwards and forward along the strip, bouncing from time to time.
The vector causing issue is the Colour object, which I want to be a vector of CRGB colours which, when fewer than the number of colours available are passed to the function, it simply uses the first x amount but if there are more balls than there are colours then it should simply re-use them.
Apologies if there are any errors in my formatting and such.
The issue is when I try to pass the vectors as constructors to BouncingBallEffect it gives the following error:
[File-Path]\sketch_jul20b\sketch_jul20b.ino: In constructor 'BouncingBallEffect::BouncingBallEffect(size_t, size_t, byte, bool)':
sketch_jul20b:44:28: error: no matching function for call to 'Vector<double>::Vector(size_t&)'

Any help anyone can offer would be much appreciated, thank you.
Arduino's Vector library (https://github.com/janelia-arduino/Vector) accepts a statically allocated array at construction time, unlike std::vector which you can pass a size_t into.
template <typename T>
class Vector
{
public:
Vector();
template <size_t MAX_SIZE>
Vector(T (&values)[MAX_SIZE],
size_t size=0);
// ...
};
You will need to pass an array instead of a size_t, or use a different data structure during these member initializers:
// ...
ClockTimeAtLastBounce(ballCount),
Height(ballCount),
BallSpeed(ballCount),
Dampening(ballCount),
Colours(ballCount)
