As I've seen more responses here, I started getting curious about how screen size impacts results with that game, so I ran a few test runs on my desktop. I'm finding that my score varies by around 30-40% depending on the size of the viewing window, with smaller windows being better. So the results I posted, for 15" screens, figure to be lower than what folks would score with a 13" screen (or if using 15" with small viewing window).

Not to say that others won't be better at the game than my control runs, but I think that's going to contribute to some pretty high variance among ad hoc results reported here.

Just for fun, I tried that test using my Android phone as input device via KDE Connect. The first time I got 0, because I usually only use the remote input functionality for clipboard sharing, but then I got it up to 12. What killed me was the input lag. It wouldn't surprise me if the Macbook drivers had seen a lot more work on latency optimization than the Linux equivalents.

Just got 210 on my first try (and 225 on a second) on linux-on-a-lenovo, same size and difficulty settings.

With that website, is it just a matter of clicking on the red dots as they appear?

Asking because clicking on them here doesn't seem to be registering. eg I can click the buttons to start/end the recording session, but clicking on the dots does nothing. Score of 0 at the end.

Then again, I'm super tired so could have missed something super obvious. ;)

That seems to be it.

Thx. :)

First time score, Hard and Small on a Windows trackpad - 295

250 doesn't seem to be anything to write home about, but I get the feeling the limiting factor is not the trackpad / trackpad drivers (so comparing users doesn't seem to make much sense).

>I've never tried Linux on a MacBook, but those must be some really bad drivers.

Or a really bad trackpad. It's not just the drivers.

>I used my trackpoint on the same size/difficulty settings and scored 160.

Still nowhere close to 250.

I've scored 345 on my first try ever with xf86-input-synaptics and Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro.

> Still nowhere close to 250.

Right, but I was using a little nub on my keyboard. I don't expect it to be as good as a trackpad.

I got 226 with the trackpad on my Dell Precision 5520 in Arch Linux under libinput.

I'm all for improvement, but it doesn't seem that bad.

Total score 289 with Thinkpad T420 (148 Points, 141 Bonus) with settings hard / small.
