Okay, so, like everyone else, I’ve been totally hooked on “Jujutsu Kaisen.” And with season 2 being this intense, I just had to do something to keep track of when the next episode drops. So I decided to make a countdown timer for episode 7. I have to say that this project is fun.
First, I needed to figure out the exact release date and time of episode 7. I looked it up, and got the date.
Next, I started thinking about how I wanted to display the countdown. I thought about building a small web page. I know some HTML and CSS, and just a little bit of JavaScript, which would be more than enough for this.
I sketched out a simple design on a piece of paper. Nothing fancy, just a clean display showing days, hours, minutes, and seconds until the episode airs. I wanted the design to be simple but also kind of cool, you know, to match the vibe of “Jujutsu Kaisen.” I picked some dark background colors and a font that looked kind of edgy.
Then, I wrote the HTML to structure the page. Created a div for the main countdown container and separate elements for days, hours, minutes, and seconds. Then, I styled it with CSS. I made sure the layout was responsive, so it would look good on my phone too. Because, you know, I’d be checking it a lot.
- HTML Structure: Created divs for each part of the countdown.
- CSS Styling: Added colors, fonts, and made it responsive.
The hardest part was the JavaScript. I had to write a function that calculates the time difference between now and the episode’s release time. Then, I had to make it update every second. I found some useful code snippets online that helped me a lot with this. I modified them to fit my needs, and after a few tries, it worked!
I added some finishing touches, like a cool background image from “Jujutsu Kaisen” and a title that says “Episode 7 Countdown.” I tested it out, and seeing the timer tick down was so satisfying.
Finally, I put my little project live, and now I can just open it up whenever I want to see how much longer I have to wait for episode 7. It’s pretty cool to see something I built from scratch actually working and being useful, at least for me.
This was a fun little side project, and it got me even more hyped for the next episode. Now, I just have to make sure I have my snacks ready. Hope it is useful.
