README & documentation
Source previewRead the project’s overview, installation instructions and usage examples. The original README is the source of truth.
Explore what people are building with MaleCNS, FlyWire, and the Drosophila melanogaster connectome. Each entry links to its creators' repository and explains what it actually offers. Start with a game, explore a desktop fly, or build your own using the research foundations. Built something with a fly connectome? Add your own repository with a pull request. Read the contribution guide, open a pull request, or suggest a project. A connectome records neurons and their connections. A simulation adds assumptions about neuron dynamics, sensory input, and motor output. A moving fly, changing weights, or a game demo does not by itself demonstrate biological fidelity or learned behavior. Reading the list: community entries summarize their authors' documentation, reviewed on September 12, 2026. These are source reviews, not independent reproductions. Prototype, circuit subset, and release pending identify useful limitations. Neuron counts depend on the release and filtering; synaptic contacts and directed neuron-pair connections…

Review the README for scope, installation, examples and limitations. We do not run repository code or certify it.
Evaluate before installing
Review licensing and dependencies, inspect recent commits and unresolved issues, and test in an isolated environment before production use. Stars and forks alone cannot answer these questions.
