Could you build this?

No Whether modeling biomechanical Drosophila simulations (like FlyGym) or analyzing whole-brain connectome graphs, building real fruit fly modeling tools requires deep computational neuroscience and physics simulation expertise.

What it would actually take: Typically implemented in Python using MuJoCo for multi-body physics simulation, combined with neuroscience graph libraries or electron microscopy image segmentation pipelines. The hard part is modeling complex sensory-motor biomechanics or handling multi-gigabyte connectome neural circuitry datasets. This requires specialized domain expertise in computational biology, neuroscience, and advanced physics simulation.
