 It's probably easier just to pull the ebay listings down in html and grab data from that. or use import.io or something

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.

I'm game! wanna dm me? :)

 you can parse the headers for the timestamp. you could also compile a windows version of lynx and use that to parse the html from the email, used with --dump you can feed to unix tools or python
