Calligrapher — free browser game

Calligrapher is a precision tracing game inspired by Ottoman calligraphic 'meşk' practice. Each round a faded corridor strip appears on screen — one end marked with a green start dot, the other with a gold finish dot. Your job is to press your finger or hold the mouse button on the green dot, drag through the corridor without straying outside it, and release on the gold dot in a single continuous motion. Black ink flows behind your stylus; when the pen stays inside the corridor the ink runs crisp and glossy, when it strays it dulls and counts as a fault. Score has three components: COVERAGE — how much of the corridor you swept in order (up to 60 points); ADHERENCE — the fraction of time your pen stayed inside (up to 30); COMPLETION — bonus if you reached the gold dot (up to 10). Up to 100 points per stroke. A round consists of seven strokes: a simple arc, then an S-curve, a loop, a double bump, a crown sweep, a sülüs flourish, and a tughra-style hat. Each stroke is a little more complex and the corridor narrows a notch; on the final two strokes the corridor is just 14 px wide. If coverage falls below 40%, the stroke is failed but you continue to the rest; after all seven, your total compares against your personal best. Tip: dragging too fast can make the ink jump past the corridor — keep a steady mid-pace. Trace the corridor with your eye before you start; favour the centre of each Bezier, avoid the inner edges. If your pen leaves the corridor you can re-enter; the penalty only applies to time spent outside. R restarts the whole round; Space or Enter starts a round and advances between strokes.
