Countdown

[ndutton]

Matt,

Here is another enhancement for you to consider for the 2019 enhancements. This time it is with respect to the count down in the motion generator. Currently you have it only allowing for minutes worth of countdown, but what if during December I wanted to countdown to new year on a matrix?

My suggestion is to modify the countdown module so that I can countdown to a given date. (eg. New Year). The trick obviously is how do you do that in a sequence that could be played at any time and even then, how to use a matrix to one moment show a pinwheel and the next to show an updated time. Somewhere in one of the utilities NTP needs to be collected from the internet and then the player can work out the delta between NTP and the target time.
