Uh, setscreen() brings back memories of qbasic and zx spectrum. Tcl is at 
least as easy (and introduces oop and set operations to boot). Whatever 
happened to Logo ? Logo was suitable for such simple tasks (and much 
more). I think that there is a Logo implementation for Linux (but if there 
isn't a subset could be implemented in Tcl in 1 day).

In tcl the circle is done like:

canvas .c1
pack .c1
.c1 create circle 100 120 80
