That Damn Fly

Field notes

The game models a fly’s escape response with a simplified circuit derived from the MaleCNS fruit-fly connectome, described as containing 816 neurons. Players use objects including a cloth, frying pan, napkin, frisbee, or basket across kitchen and picnic settings. The page says the fly is not a complete brain, living animal, or learning system, and that one shared daily fly supplies the challenge for all players.
