myPixel.py

"""
This is an object that represents one pixel.

Pixels have a location (an x and y coordinate) and a color. The color
can be changed. The location cannot.

Is this ridiculous? It just seems like it will be easier because there are specific
rules to pixels.

UPDATE: Yes, this is ridiculous. The array is already implicitly storing x and y for each pixel, so a collection of pixels is just
a collection of colors.
