So in principle, you could simulate a very simplified model
of the nervous system of a fly on a fast PC, not on an RCX.

Hmmm... according to that, it looks like I should be able to run a
simulation of an RCX on a fly.  ;)

Absolutely, if you happen to know fly assembler, or have a good fly
compiler. You'd also need to figure out how to load your program into the
fly's nervous system, assuming it's not mostly just read-only. A virus might
work.

Hmmm. TclTk sports an "on-the-fly" bytecode compiler...does that help?

(...) LOL! BTW, speaking of viruses (in the good sense) and on-the-fly bytecode compiling, do any of the RCX packages currently support the spontaneous exchange of high-level code between two or more RCX bricks? It seems like it would almost be a (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
