Drosophila Cadet

SEKY443 (@SEKY443)

The flippers of 3D Pinball Space Cadet, compiled to WebAssembly in a fake Windows XP desktop, are pressed by the fly's own looming-escape circuit from MaleCNS v1.0: 373 neurons, LC4 and LPLC2 into the two giant fibers, with real synapse counts and signs, nothing trained. Each looming cell watches its own spot along a flipper; a giant fiber that fires presses it. The untrained circuit plays about as well as a trained 444-neuron brain from the same data, and unlike that one it beats six degree-preserving shuffles over 96 paired lives each. Both stay a little below a hand-written reflex.
