Countdown

About

This is a simple game where players try to be the first to hit the button on their side when a countdown timer reaches zero.

When the game starts a random number between 3-9 is generated and set as the number to start the timer at, then another random number is generated from 250-550 which represents the speed of the game. If the number 250 is generated there are 0.25 seconds between numbers and 550 means 0.55 seconds between numbers.

Controls

To start the game press either one of the two buttons and get the players ready, this will initiate the timer. When the timer hits 0 each player must try to be the first to hit the button on their side, the player to first hit his button will get a green light on his side of the board, while the other player gets a red light. The board will then reset itself after 3 seconds. If one of the players presses his button before the timer hits 0, he loses and the board resets itself.
