More like the source code AND the complete design for a 200+ degree of freedom robot with batteries etc. pretty amazing.

It's like a 600mb demoscene demo for Conway's game of life!

That's underselling the product, a swarm of nanobots that are (literally, currently) beyond human understanding that are also the only way to construct certain materials and systems.

Inheritor of the Gray Goo apocalypse that covered the planet, this kind constructs an enormous mobile mega-fortress with a literal hive-mind, scouring the environment for raw materials and fending off hacking attempts by other nanobots. They even simulate other hive-minds to gain an advantage.
