Okay, guys, so today I wanna talk about setting up a countdown timer for the release of WuWa 1.4. I’ve been hyped for this update, especially with Camellya joining the roster. So, I got down to it and started figuring out how to make a countdown.
First, I gathered all the info I needed. From what I found, the release date is November 14, 2024. I saw some saying it might be November 13th if you’re in an earlier timezone like UTC-4, but I stuck with the 14th to be safe.
Preparation
- Confirm the Release Date: Double-checked that WuWa 1.4 is set for November 14.
- Decide on the Countdown Format: I wanted something simple, just days, hours, minutes, and seconds.
Then, I started playing around with some basic JavaScript. I’m no coder, but I can handle the basics. I set up a function to calculate the time difference between the current time and the release date. It was pretty straightforward – subtract the release date from the current date, then break that down into days, hours, minutes, and seconds.
I made a simple HTML page to display the timer. Nothing fancy, just a few divs to hold the time elements. I used some basic CSS to make it look decent. I also added the JavaScript to update the timer every second. It’s pretty cool to see it ticking down.
Implementation Steps
- Write the Code: Wrote some JavaScript to calculate the remaining time.
- Create the HTML Structure: Set up a basic HTML page with placeholders for the countdown.
- Style with CSS: Added some CSS to make it look presentable.
- Test and Debug: Made sure the timer updates correctly and handles edge cases.
Honestly, it wasn’t too hard. The hardest part was probably making sure the timezones didn’t mess things up. But after a few tweaks, it worked like a charm. Now I have a live countdown timer for WuWa 1.4, and it’s making the wait a bit more exciting.
I also read that version 1.2 will be on August 15, 2024, and version 1.3 on September 29, 2024. Maybe I’ll set up timers for those too, just for fun. This whole process got me thinking about how much I enjoy these little projects. It’s satisfying to see something you built from scratch working.
So yeah, that’s my little adventure with setting up a countdown timer for WuWa 1.4. If any of you guys are into this kind of stuff, give it a shot! It’s a fun way to learn some basic coding and get even more hyped for the game.
By the way, I also heard about some new region called Rinascita coming in Version 2.0, along with some QOL changes. Sounds like Kuro Games is really putting in the work. I’m looking forward to all these updates.
Alright, that’s it for now. Let me know if you guys have any questions or if you’ve done something similar. I’d love to hear about it! The countdown is ticking, and I can’t wait for November 14th! Hope you guys enjoyed this little story. Catch you later!
