I want to branch out and I'm going to stick with it.
A bit of a crosspost from the Raspberry Pi thread. I was hoping someone could help me program a simple countdown timer that I can run. I'm doing a homemade Escape Room for friends, and the goal is to shut down a self destruct sequence.

It will need to run on a raspberry pi. A simple HTML/Java or CSS page is probably the best way to do this. Ideally something I can just put on the Pi, run it, and off it goes.

I would want it to show a message that says: "Countdown to Self Destruct" with a countdown timer below that. Then, on the bottom would be an input. Text would read "Enter deactivation code to stop sequence:" with a cursor to enter a password. The timer would start at an hour and countdown to zero.

If the right password is entered, the sequence stops and the players win. It would display a message like "Sequence Deactivated" and the time remaining. If an incorrect password is entered, it instead takes 2 minutes off of the timer. If it reaches zero, it would flash red with a message saying they have died.

Players would have access to only a numeric keypad. I would have a keyboard and mouse that I could use to stop/start it that the players wouldn't have access to.

Any goons willing to take this on? Happy to provide an SA gift cert or Steam bux for help.
