New extension: Countdown Timer

[cvault-g]

Description

This repository contains the Countdown Timer extension for GDevelop. It provides a countdown timer functionality that can be used to create timed challenges in GDevelop projects. The extension allows you to set an initial time in seconds and then start the timer to count down. Includes actions to start or reset the timer, stop it at zero or allow negative numbers, and get the time remaining on the timer via an expression. In addition, it introduces the new expression "GetInitialConfigurationValue" to retrieve the initial configuration value.

Characteristics

👋 Thanks for your submission! Unfortunately, all submitted extensions have to meet some minimal quality standard - the extension best practices - and our system has found that your extension does not fully comply 😔. You can find all of those rules on the GDevelop wiki.

The following issues have been found by the system concerning the respect of those best practices by your extension:

  ⟶ ❌ [Filled out names and descriptions]: Required field 'description' of the function 'StarCountdown parameter 'zeroNumbers' is not filled out!
  ⟶ ❌ [No 'Get' in expressions]: Expression 'GetRemainingTime' is using prohibited 'Get' prefix!
  ⟶ ❌ [No 'Get' in expressions]: Expression 'GetInitialConfigurationValue' is using prohibited 'Get' prefix!

Please update your original submission post with a new zip file containing your extensions updated to follow those guidelines 🙏
