fly-in-the-bottle

A desktop widget: an anatomical fly in a glass jar you can poke, rotate and shake, in a frameless transparent window that can sit on the wallpaper beneath every other window. The behaviour is not animation. A separate C++ process simulates the MaleCNS connectome, 164,606 neurons, event-driven so it costs almost nothing at rest, and four named descending neurons decide when the fly flies, turns, walks or reacts to a poke. The body is the FlyBody model with two-segment leg inverse kinematics. The README says the widget did not start on Windows, which Linux and X11 are the tested path.
