Fly Escape Room Puts a 166,000-Neuron Fruit-Fly Connectome Into a Game

A new prototype called Fly Escape Room lets players place food and objects, run a simulation, and observe virtual flies powered by a reconstructed fruit-fly neural network. Its developer says the project was built with GPT-6 Astra over a three-day development loop and uses all 166,000 neurons in the model.
