Can you draw a perfect circle? โญ•

Hey what's up guys๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป
As developers๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ป we spend hours staring at screens๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ, designing complex architectures, optimizing code, and hunting down bugs. When the continuous grind starts to saturate your brain, a quick stress-buster is exactly what you need! Iโ€™ve brought a super fun and quick challenge to help everyone de-stress๐Ÿ๏ธ

Letโ€™s see if our handsโ€”which write production-ready code all dayโ€”can deliver a precise output without relying on any external UI kits, canvas methods, or libraries. Is your manual motor control as optimized as your logical thinking?

๐Ÿ‘‰ Click here to take the challenge: Play Perfect Circle Challenge โญ•


๐Ÿ“ธ What do you need to do? (Rules of the Game)

  • Head over to the link above and draw a circle using your mouse, trackpad, or finger.
  • Capture a screenshot of your best score (whether it's 90%, 95%, or higher accuracy!).
  • Share your screenshot/photo in the comments below and see how your score stacks up against the rest of the community!

Tried a lot, not getting it! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ™Œ

Its like rolling the dice, sometimes I get close enough and the very next time it does not even cross 60%

No I can't, however I noticed that your circle isn't closed, it has a gap :-) but I conclude that that doesn't matter ...

But no, I can't beat this - what is your secret? :D

Fun game! Did you program this yourself? Epic ...

Got above 90%, but at some point it seemed that reaching higher scores was more a matter of luck/randomness, so then I stopped ... this would definitely be easier with a trackpad (let alone a tablet) than with a mouse, I also think I had a little bit too much friction with the mouse on the surface to reach optimal results ...

Also noticed that a few times I drew something which I thought was pretty bad (looked more like a potato) and still got a pretty high score - I wonder what the scoring algorithm is exactly?

But, definitely a cool idea, and a fun game, nice one!

Haha, thanks! :D It's not actually my gameโ€”it's from neal.fun. As far as I know, the exact scoring algorithm hasn't been made public. My guess is it compares your drawn shape to an ideal circle, looking at things like how consistent the radius is from the center, smoothness of the outline, and how round the overall shape is. That's probably why some drawings that look a bit "potato-like" can still score surprisingly high if they match those metrics well.

โ€œItโ€™s funny how we spend our days designing complex systems, yet a simple circle can instantly humble us. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Love this challenge!โ€
