And, from the comments, and artist who already did it: https://casparberger.nl/skeleton/ https://arstechnica.com/science/2019/04/in-mice-ecstasy-keeps-social-developmental-window-open/ > Mice seem to have a critical period for learning social interactions. If they're raised in a group, they'll generally react positively when they encounter strange mice in the future. If they're raised on their own, their reaction to new mice is typically hostile. To study this, researchers at Johns Hopkins and MIT collaborated on a system that let them track the ability of mice to learn that social interactions are rewarding. > With that system in place, the researchers explored how readily mice can learn to value social contact. They found that it changes with time. Early in adolescence, mice were amenable to this sort of social learning, a tendency that peaked around 40 days after birth. From there, they entered a slow decline until about 90 days after birth, at which point adult mice were no longer able to make that association. The critical period had closed. https://github.com/faiface/pixel Golang 2D game library. Vacuumed.
