You can see an example <a href="https://cigari.co.uk/countdown/" title="Countdown Cube">here</a>. This also coincides, unsurprisingly, with my first <a href="https://github.com/oofaish/countdownCube" title="Github countdowncube">Github repository</a>.</p> <p>I have over-commented the code, so other beginners find it useful. There are also plenty of optimisations, clean ups, improvements and bug fixes to be done on it yet - but it is definitely a good start!</p>
