#Countdown Timer using JavaScript

This is a basic timer that uses setInterval to countdown from the present moment to the desired time. What I loved about this app was manipulating the interval of time. Basing it off of some characters from the cartoon, Rick & Morty, you can either Slow Down Time:

function slowMoWrapper(clock){
        clearInterval(time);
        if(clock === clock1){
            now = (rioStart - Date.now()) / 1000;
        }else{
            now = (deathStart - Date.now()) / 1000;
        }
        slowMo = setInterval(
        function(){
            getNewTime('slomo', clock);
            updateCounter(clock);
        }, 3000);
};

As you can see, with the setInterval function, I set the new interval to decrement each second every three seconds instead of 1:1

Stopping time was surpisingly easy! All I had to do was ad a onclick="clearInterval(slowMo); clearInterval(time);" to the button's html essentially stopping time whether it was slowed down or just ticking away at a normal interval.

Getting the time to start again was also dealt with in a simple manner:

function timeWrapper(){
    clearInterval(slowMo);
    time = setInterval(
    function(){
        getNewTime('reg', clock1);
        updateCounter(clock1);
        getNewTime('reg2', clock2);
        updateCounter(clock2);
    }, 1000);
}

This is the same function that starts the timer when you originally load the page! I added the clearInterval(slowMo); to clear the slower interval as it seemed to continue to impact regular time and made the countdown clock jumpy.
