🚀 Switch 2 Countdown – Coding Challenge

Nintendo’s Switch 2 drops at 12:01 AM → June 5 2025.
Starter code boots a bare timer—your job is to finish the logic and add launch-day flair.

Starter files

index.html // page shell +

styles.css // red theme (tweak as you like) script.js // countdown scaffold — TODOs inside assets/ // Switch-2 banner PNG + coin.wav (optional)

Open script.js to see the commented TODO steps.

Requirements

#	Feature	Pass criteria
1	Live countdown	Timer updates every second (days : hrs : mins : secs).
2	Two-digit units	04 hrs → not 4 hrs  padStart() hint included.
3	Launch state	At zero: text flips to “Switch 2 is out! 🎉” and page style changes (background, confetti, etc.).
4	Dynamic date	Timer reads data-release on the countdown <div> (no hard-coding in JS).
5	(Stretch) Sound	Play coin.wav once on launch.
