Happy New Year!
It's time to roll out 2021 and ring in 2022, so here's an animated New Year's Eve 7-segment countdown timer that's inspired by basketball shot clocks. The x/y coordinates for the segments came from SVG polygon definitions found in Manuel Schulz's clever CodePen project ("Digital SVG clock to be set via css and attributes"), the 11:59 analog clock image is from Wikimedia user Micthev, and the champagne bottle is a low-res version of Adrien Coquet's "Champagne Party" icon at The Noun Project. Happy New Year, all!
