Got a 6.80. I think I'd get slightly better score if I knew that you had to make a straight line on the Midpoint test. That 36.1 hurt me.

Thanks, someonesplended! That's a great test for the type designers and users.

I got a 3.69 and that's with my messed up monitor that makes everything look like it has drop shadows and squiggles all over it.

It's a signal interference thing. Neighbor is a HAM operator.

What an awesome game. And nice to see some typophiles on best score list!

4.49 :(

2.80 first time around. Kept on getting around 6 on the midpoint test, though. For some reason I really suck at that compared to everything else.

Okay redeeming myself a little. 3.25 second time. I'm still not as skilled as you all.

And no, there was not some kind of technical error.

1.98. The weak spot for me is the parallelogram. I have a tendency to see it as a three-dimensional plane.

I think my skill at finding the center of the circle comes from FontLab's lack of crosshairs on the scale tool. When I want to interactively scale a circle from the center, it's usually too much trouble to set up guides to locate the center. I just eyeball it.

3.59,

but the bloody Sub-editor (who's very nice but with very little design skills) hits 2.2!!

But Mark, when you select a circle, then double click to enter transform mode, and then hold down the shift-option keys and scale using the corner, doesn’t it scale from the center for you? Shift constrains the circle; option makes it operate from the center.

You know, as soon as I posted that, I was sure this would happen. But if I had known that trick, then I wouldn't have done as well on the optical geometry test.

Thanks for the tip, Kent. I always forget about the transformation mode.

2.35 on first try. I seem to have the same trouble with parallelograms mentionned, but the most striking thing for me was that I was consistently picking a point to the right of the actual circle centre. I learn something new every day.

Oh, on one of the right angle tests, I got a perfect vertical, and had the easy task of drawing a perfect horizontal, hence the 0.0.

Hey this was fun! But one of the hardest parts is getting the mouse to move only one pixel at a time.

Your inaccuracy by category:

Parallelogram 0.0 3.2 1.4
Midpoint 2.0 4.5 1.4
Bisect angle 0.7 0.9 1.4
Triangle center 3.5 2.2 11.8
Circle center 2.2 1.0 4.1
Right angle 1.6 0.5 0.2
Convergence 1.0 1.4 2.8

Average error: 2.28 (lower is better)

Just got a 2.01! w00t!

Yeah, I tried that, too. Seems like the only way I do better on the parallelograms is to make it look wrong. Still tricky. I've found that putting my hand over the ends of the lines helps in the angle bisecting test.

What did you use... Regular optical mouse, Wacom stylis, touch pad?

For some reason, the stylis was a lot less acurate. not much diffence between the mouse and touch pad.

1.52.

Guess who's wasting time on the web this afternoon?

Back to work...

I'm getting better, too. 2.35 to 2.09 to 1.89 on my third try.

I love how there is an obvious drop in my concentration level after the first round.

1.92 first try.

I like the histogram they give you at the end.

Problem here though, the points you're marking are sometimes between pixels and therefore impossible to match exactly.

It makes sense that the stylus would be less accurate, as releasing the pen from the tablet without moving it is well-nigh impossible.

My husband, a carpenter, does very well with this game. Apparently, I can't walk and chew gum.
