I am making a quiz game for a project in HTML and JavaScript. On every question, the player has 15 seconds to answer. I managed to do it like this:
<body onload="setTimeout(Timer,15000)">
and then in Js:
function Timer()
    {
         alert("You are out of time!");
    }
However, I want to be able to display how much time the player has left in a <p> tag. How could I do that?
<div id="count">Start</div>
var count = 15;
var interval = setInterval(function(){
  document.getElementById('count').innerHTML=count;
  count--;
  if (count === 0){
    clearInterval(interval);
    document.getElementById('count').innerHTML='Done';
    // or...
    alert("You're out of time!");
  }
}, 1000);
                        Here's a basic example of a countdown timer
var count = 15;
var timer = setInterval(function() {
  console.log(count);
  count--;
  if(count === 0) {
    stopInterval()
  }
}, 1000);
var stopInterval = function() {
  console.log('time is up!');
  clearInterval(timer);
}
