Draw your best circle!

I got this high score from just spamming it
{"name":"609913","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/c\/2\/c21df67b4f9abe2cafa36d5282f270ed.png","w":1189,"h":814,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/c\/2\/c21df67b4f9abe2cafa36d5282f270ed"}609913

This was my highest score, could probably get higher
{"name":"609912","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/0\/6\/062c8dd0d69c460801ae786772e18d56.png","w":700,"h":792,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/0\/6\/062c8dd0d69c460801ae786772e18d56"}609912

But I think the real test is probably to shoot for the lowest "Error / point". This was my lowest. In one swipe.

The best I got so far was 593555, with a single swipe only 70 (pixels?) in diameter. I'm no artist so I'd be surprised if I could really challenge one to this. :) I also have a decent mouse with a configurable DPI, which I think helps to keep it under control. I'm sure somebody with artistic talent and one of those graphic/drawing board things could blow this program's mind. :)

It seems easy to cheese this...

Experience of cheating in various multiplayer games comes in handy... ::)

I was working on cheating like Elias, but was beaten to the punch.

Hm... more points, better score? Ok...

Elias, that's cool. xdotool, got it 8-)

Is that Ruby? Are you using Ruby much for other things as well?

That's Python. You could do the same in bash (or perl, or even ruby) - just needed some scripting outside of xdotool to get the circle coordinates :) I basically prefer Python for everything, from simple scripts to large games. Allegro5 comes with a Python wrapper even.

We need a new doodle thread. Preferably with some twist. We've had a few legendary ones. One with Easy Toons, one with people picturing A4 function names.

The question is, can anyone draw seven perpendicular red lines?

My first thought was xdotool and bash, but Elias got it first. Now, I'm wondering what the most imperfect circle would be (though technically, there is no such thing as an imperfect circle, as to be not perfect is to be not a circle).

Woah. This is how I felt when I watched the first new Star Trek movie: I can die now, my body is ready.
