Animal controlled computer games

Animal Controlled Computer Games, or "Pac Man" where the ghosts are controlled by crickets. A short blurb with a few pictures.

Come to think of it, while I see the mechanism for making the crickets run away when the power pills get eaten, I don't see what happens to them when they're caught... Could we be evolving a super-race of video game playing crickets?

Or better yet, a super-race of video game developing crickets... especially if you have a cage big enough to hold an infinite number of them. Low overhead than monkeys at least...

FYI: I just added the software development methodology to the WikiPedia entry on infinite monkeys.
