Christmas Countdown?

Yes :slight_smile: Halloween,Christmas,Newyear.A basic countdown code required.

I think you need a Text() object … make sure the font has all numbers assigned to it. Initialize it with the maximum number of letters.

Then add some java …

	Calendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar();
	
	Integer minutes     = calendar.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
	Integer seconds     = calendar.get(Calendar.SECOND);

etc

Then you might want a loop… you know… to update the time left.
