About

Zombie Deck is a hardware-based zombie chase game on a handheld Raspberry Pi terminal, built by Bit By Bit (Abhijith R & Adithya Vijay, NSS College Of Engineering Palakkad) for TinkerHub Useless Projects 3.0.

Your street is a live zombie-infested map — and you are the controller. The deck renders your neighbourhood (roads + POIs from OpenStreetMap) as ASCII on a 3.5" TFT, spawns zombies around you using live GPS, and they chase you. You outrun zombies byactually outrunning them.

Under the hood:

• Raspberry Pi 3 + 3.5" TFT display + NEO-6M GPS + M5Stack CardKB
• Python (curses) game plus a Rust (ratatui) port
• Offline OpenStreetMap data via the Overpass API
