import zim from "https://zimjs.org/cdn/016/zim";

// files from TexturePacker have been put in an assets/ folder
const assets = ["drabstract.png", "drabstract.json"];
const path = "assets/";

// See Docs under Frame for FIT, FILL, FULL, and TAG
new Frame(FIT, 1024, 768, dark, light, ready, assets, path);
function ready() {
    
    new Sprite({json:"drabstract.json"}) 
        .center()
        .run({
            time:3.5,
            rewind:true,
            rewindWait:5,
            loop:true,
            loopWait:5
        });
