<h2>CDN</h2>
<p>Usually we use ES Modules to bring in ZIM and if we want Game then we the code below - see the starting template at the top of the https://zimjs.com/code page.  If physics is needed, just import zim_physics and it will include the game module by default.  (Note, the NPM Physics does not).
</p>

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

<h2>NPM</h2>
<p>This repository holds the NPM package so you can install from <a href=https://www.npmjs.com/package/@zimjs/game target=node>@zimjs/game</a> on NPM.  The <a href=https://www.npmjs.com/package/zimjs target=node>ZIM&nbsp;package</a> must be installed to work.</p>

```JavaScript
import zim from "zimjs"
import { Board, Scorer, Timer, Dialog } from "@zimjs/game"
```
