TEACH KIDS SKOOL PROPS
ZIM is a free JavaScript framework for making Interactive Media on the HTML Canvas with easy shapes, drag and drop, hit tests, components like buttons, sliders, dials and more based on the robust CreateJS. ZIM should not be used for standard information sites - use normal HTML and CSS for this. See WHY ZIM
1. TOOLS
You will need a computer of any sort like a PC or Mac. A text editor preferably with syntax coloring (Atom, NotePad++, Sublime, VS Code, Brackets, DreamWeaver, etc.). And any modern browser such as Firefox, Chrome, IE, Edge or Safari. Requirements have never been so freely available!
2. SET UP
Copy the template from the CODE page or download the ZIM ZIP or see instructions at ZIM Frame.
3. LEARN
 Coding requires exact syntax (wording) so patience is needed. Coding also involves logic and is the best puzzle in the world. Enjoy the challenge and don't forget to revel when things work!
