Official Wuthering Wave Countdown: Dont Miss the Launch! (Start Playing)

Okay, so I’ve been hyped for Wuthering Waves, and like everyone else, I’m counting down the days. I decided to make my own little countdown timer, because why not? It’s a fun little project, and it keeps the excitement going!

First, I needed to figure out the release date. Pretty easy, just a quick search, and boom – May 22nd, 2024. Got that locked in.

Next, I thought, “Okay, how do I actually make this thing?” I’m no coding expert, but I know a bit of HTML and JavaScript. That seemed like the easiest way to go.

I started by creating a basic HTML file. Nothing fancy, just a simple structure:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Wuthering Waves Countdown</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id=”countdown”></div>
</body>
</html>

See? Super basic. The important part is that <div id=”countdown”></div>. That’s where the countdown magic will happen.

Then came the JavaScript part. This is where I had to do a little thinking. I needed to:

Get the current date and time.
Get the release date and time.
Calculate the difference between the two.
Display that difference in days, hours, minutes, and seconds.
Update the display every second.

I used the Date object in JavaScript to get the dates. Then, it was just a matter of subtracting the release date from the current date to get the difference in milliseconds. A little bit of math (dividing by 1000, 60, 60, 24) turned that into seconds, minutes, hours, and days.

To update the timer every second, I used the setInterval() function. This function calls another function repeatedly at a set interval – in this case, every 1000 milliseconds (1 second).

The display part was pretty straightforward. I just used some basic string manipulation to format the output, and used the countdown to put it in the HTML.

I slapped together a little bit of JavaScript to display the countdown.

And… it worked! I had a working countdown timer! It wasn’t the prettiest thing in the world, but it did the job. I could see exactly how long I had to wait for Wuthering Waves. Seeing those numbers tick down made the wait feel a little more real, and a little more exciting.

The whole thing was pretty rough around the edges, but hey, it was my rough-around-the-edges countdown timer. And it got me even more pumped for the game!
