Make Your Own Zombie Outbreak

March 30, 2015 by Craig DiLouie Leave a Comment

You know how in every zombie or outbreak movie there’s a map showing a big red glowing splotch illustrating the spread of the virus?

Bye, bye, Europe. From WWZ.

Well, now you can make your own!

Cornell University graduates have created an online interactive map showing what a zombie outbreak would look like. It’s fun stuff like this that helps us understand how real outbreaks work.

You can control kill-to-bite ratio, zombie speed and number of steps. You then place your zombie in a populated area, grab some popcorn and watch the end of the world.

New York always gets it in these scenarios.

I had a little trouble getting the program to work with altered parameters. I also thought it would have been interesting to account for air travel, resulting in multiple outbreaks.

Make your own outbreak here.
