HSR 2.2 Countdown: New Characters and Events Coming Soon, Dont Miss Out!

Alright, let’s dive into this “hsr 2.2 countdown” thing. It was a bit of a head-scratcher at first, but I think I finally nailed it. So, pull up a chair and let me walk you through my process.

First off, I needed a way to actually track the countdown. I started with just a simple date comparison using JavaScript. Nothing fancy, just grabbing the current date and comparing it to the target date (the start of hsr 2.2, obviously!).

Then, I broke it down. Getting the difference in days was easy, but I wanted hours, minutes, and seconds too. So, I did some math, you know, milliseconds to seconds, seconds to minutes, and so on. It was a bit tedious, but got there eventually.

Next up, the display. I wanted something clean and easy to read. I initially just dumped the output into a `

` tag, but that looked awful. So, I decided to use a bit of CSS to make it look presentable. Nothing groundbreaking, just some basic styling.

Here’s where things got a little tricky. The countdown needed to update in real-time. I initially tried using `setInterval`, but that felt clunky. After a bit of digging, I switched to `requestAnimationFrame`. It’s smoother and more efficient, plus it automatically pauses when the tab isn’t active.

To make it visually appealing, I added a progress bar. I calculated the percentage of time remaining and used that to set the width of a `

`. It’s a nice visual cue to see how much time is left.

Finally, I wrapped it up in a little HTML page with some basic instructions. You know, “This countdown is for hsr 2.2,” that sort of thing. Nothing too elaborate.

Here’s a little code snippet to give you an idea:


// Get the target date
const targetDate = new Date('2024-XX-XXT00:00:00'); // Replace with actual date
// Function to update the countdown
function updateCountdown() {
const now = new Date();
const difference = *() - *();
const days = *(difference / (1000  60  60  24));

const hours = *((difference % (1000  60  60  24)) / (1000  60  60));
const minutes = *((difference % (1000  60  60)) / (1000  60));
const seconds = *((difference % (1000  60)) / 1000);
// Display the countdown
*('days').innerText = days;
*('hours').innerText = hours;
*('minutes').innerText = minutes;
*('seconds').innerText = seconds;

// Request the next frame
requestAnimationFrame(updateCountdown);

// Start the countdown
updateCountdown();

So, there you have it. A simple, but functional, hsr 2.2 countdown. It’s not perfect, but it gets the job done. Maybe I’ll add some fancy animations later, but for now, I’m happy with it.
