The Flipper Zero digital multi-tool already has tons of uses, from hacking to controlling home systems.<\/a> Now it can even play games, thanks to a partnership with Raspberry Pi. This comes in the form of a new add-on for the device, appropriately called the Video Game Module<\/a>.<\/p>\n The module is powered by the Raspberry Pi-developed RP2040 microcontroller and it can run games programmed in C, C++ and MicroPython. To suit the quirkiness of Flipper\u2019s device, however, the module goes a few steps further. It features sensors for hand-tracking, a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer, so games can include tilt and shake functionalities.<\/p>\n Now, you may be wondering why you would play real games on the Flipper Zero\u2019s teensy-tiny screen. The 1.4-inch monochrome display may work for the hacking minigame often associated with the device, but would likely struggle with anything beyond that. Luckily, the Video Game Module allows for video output to external displays.<\/p>\n In other words, the module\u2019s suite of sensors combined with the video output turns the Flipper Zero itself into a controller, with the game being played on an actual screen. It\u2019ll be really cool to see what the open source community does with this thing. It could end up like the famously-derided Ouya console<\/a> only, you know, good.<\/p>\n
