Angry Birds - like Physics game in 15 minutes with ZIM!

We have made an Angry Birds type game in 15 minutes at 66% the size of P5js and MatterJS. Here is the example https://zimjs.com/five/slingshot2.html.

// here is a circle that will fall to the ground:

new Circle().center().addPhysics();

// amazing! 
// Or we can start with physics to set gravity, borders, etc.

const physics = new Physics();
// and drag things in physics
physics.drag();

now 5 years later there is beautifull game made snow-chaos.games.playgama.com/cm3o... you can see it is code of ZIM with ctrl+u onto the page, but compiled in Adobe Animate because ZIM uses CreateJS what is also used in Adobe Animate. Have fun playing it! the normal link is playgama.com/export/game/snow-chaos fulscreen or within an iframe on playgama.com/game/snow-chaos
