dartboat works using an internal representation of a specification dartboard. Upon selecting a target, the dart is thrown following a normal distribution with configurable inaccuracy. The resultant coordinates are then used to calculate the segment in which the dart landed. The idea is that this provides a more realistic opponent than picking points at random.

The stdev setting controls the standard deviation of the bot's throws in millimetres. A value of 24 translates to a three-dart average of roughly 35. A value of 13 would be a 65 average, and a value of 8 a 95 average.

The delay setting controls how many milliseconds it takes the bot to throw each dart.

dartboat is free and open-source software. It is written primarily in C. The web target is compiled to WebAssembly, along with some JavaScript for the interactive elements. This is a work in progress—a lot of features are missing and a lot of things will change.
