IDEA: Graphic Countdown with Random Reset

(1/2) > >>

flisflis:
Hello

I have been trying to work on this myself but not very successfully, as I haven't done much of this before.

I need a countdown, starting at 500, which is displayed at 1 second intervals. The countdown is never to reach 0; at random intervals, the countdown restarts. The restart is from a random number between 500 and the current number (I need it to be a little less obvious than restarting from 500 each time).

Ideally I would like the numbers to be displayed as seven-segment digits, like on stop watches, and as large as possible.

Thanks

GREAT IDEA!

How to hell could someone use this crazy counter in a senseful way?

flisflis:
It's part of an art project looking at avoided endings. I'm not sure if that counts as 'senseful', but it's why.

mouser:
easy enough to do.. i'm sure someone will come along and write this up.  would be nice to hear more about your experiment though..
