Yeah, my thoughts exactly - a typo.

You are welcome!

And keep sharing your development experiences. I enjoyed the article very much.

While reading it, I was imagining drawing some pixel art sprites for the numbers and it didn't go far enough to whether should I use them in a canvas element for the rendering of a coundown-timer. It sounded like a neat idea in my imagination. Like an old arcade game, having a countdown timer for its levels or something...

Not exactly a stopwatch like in your project, although the time and its displaying would be using similar techniques. Well, for a full game there are other considerations, like the game, and animations' loops. Usually different counters are used for those, which may regulate the framerates, animations, AI actions, inputs reading... It's a whole Universe, there. For the time being I was thinking only around one UI element - a countdown timer.
