need someone to look at my code to see if im missing something

I'm using an Arduino Mega2560 to control some neopixels but there seems to be a bug that i can't fined

in the video you can see it working for the first 7 seconds then the left pixels stop turning off and don't update right. it dose this after i turn on the arduino about 50% of the time i don't think its sram and I'm getting no error messages

I added the files so you can see all the code that I'm running i add a function to adafruit called setnumpixals();

[/code]

   bars();
   drop();
   if(lefttimer3<(millis()-100)){

stripleft.show();
stripright.show();

If you can't be bothered to use spaces to make your code readable, and properly format it, I can't be bothered to read it.

There's a space in this line:-

if((lastleft>left)&&(lefttimer1<=(millis()-analogRead(droprate)))&&(lefttimer2 <(millis()-20))){

yah sorry about that i did not realize it was that bad but i found what was wrong it was in this code

i was reading 7 pins to get how meany pixels are connected well the pins that are commented out must be able to float up to read high giving a a number other then 14 also is the spacing better on this?

  //pinMode(22,INPUT_PULLUP);
  pinMode(24,INPUT_PULLUP);
  pinMode(26,INPUT_PULLUP);
  pinMode(28,INPUT_PULLUP);
  //pinMode(30,INPUT_PULLUP);
  //pinMode(32,INPUT_PULLUP);
  //pinMode(34,INPUT_PULLUP);
  //pinMode(36,INPUT_PULLUP);
  
  byte readpin = 34;
  for(byte i=0; i < 7; i++){
     
    if(digitalRead(readpin) == true){
    striplength = striplength << 1 | 1;
    }else{
      striplength = striplength << 1 | 0;
    }
     readpin--;
     readpin--;
  }
  //stripleft.setnumpixals(striplength);
