Remapping ASCII

Challenge

Write a program that reorders the ASCII characters!

It should output a single string containing all of the printable ASCII characters exactly once. The first character of this string is assigned the value 1, the second character the value 2, and so on.

If two characters are normally next to each other (the difference between their character codes is 1), they may not appear next to each other in the output.

Scoring

Your score will be the sum of the values for all of the characters in your source code, as dictated by your program's output.

Please see the Verification section to calculate your score.

Lowest score wins!

Rules

"Printable ASCII" is defined to mean character codes 32 - 126, inclusive.
You may write a full program or a function.
Your code may only contain printable ASCII characters and newlines.
Your program may not take any input.
Newlines will always have the value 1. Your program's output should not include a newline.

Verification

Use this stack snippet to verify that your code's output is valid, and to calculate your code's score!

var result = document.getElementById("result");document.getElementById("submit").onclick = function() {var code = document.getElementById("code").value;var output = document.getElementById("output").value;var values = [];for (var i = 0; i < output.length; i++) {var c = output[i];var v = c.charCodeAt();if (v < 32 || v > 126) {result.innerHTML = "Invalid output! Reason: `" + c + "` (code " + v + ") is out of range.";return;}if (values.indexOf(c) >= 0) {result.innerHTML = "Invalid output! Reason: `" + c + "` (code " + v + ") was repeated.";return;}if (i > 0) {var d = output[i - 1];var w = d.charCodeAt();if (Math.abs(v - w) == 1) {result.innerHTML = "Invalid output! Reason: `" + d + "` and `" + c + "` (codes " + w + " and " + v + ") cannot appear next to each other in the output.";return;}}values.push(c);}for (var j = 32; j <= 126; j++) {var c = String.fromCharCode(j);if (values.indexOf(c) < 0) {result.innerHTML = "Invalid output! Reason: `" + c + "` (code " + j + ") was missing.";return;}}var score = 0;for (var k = 0; k < code.length; k++) {var s = values.indexOf(code[k]) + 1;if (s <= 0) s = 1;score += s}result.innerHTML = "Your score is " + score + "!";}

Answer*

If this is an answer to a challenge…

…Be sure to follow the challenge specification. However, please refrain from exploiting obvious loopholes. Answers abusing any of the standard loopholes are considered invalid. If you think a specification is unclear or underspecified, comment on the question instead.
…Try to optimize your score. For instance, answers to code-golf challenges should attempt to be as short as possible. You can always include a readable version of the code in addition to the competitive one. Explanations of your answer make it more interesting to read and are very much encouraged.
…Include a short header which indicates the language(s) of your code and its score, as defined by the challenge.

More generally…

…Please make sure to answer the question and provide sufficient detail.
…Avoid asking for help, clarification or responding to other answers (use comments instead).

\$\begingroup\$ print chr$_*42%95+32for 0..94 already achieves a score of 925, and 42 is most likely no longer optimal. \$\endgroup\$

\$\begingroup\$ Thanks @Dennis — I had no idea you could write loops that way. \$\endgroup\$

\$\begingroup\$ If you replace the spaces with linefeeds, print chr$_*63%95+32for 31..125 achieves a score of 799. \$\endgroup\$

How to Format

create code fences with backticks ` or tildes ~
```
like so
```

```python
def function(foo):
print(foo)
```
put returns between paragraphs
for linebreak add 2 spaces at end
_italic_ or **bold**
indent code by 4 spaces
backtick escapes `like _so_`
quote by placing > at start of line
to make links (use https whenever possible)

<https://example.com>

How to Tag

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.

complete the sentence: my question is about...
use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
favor using existing popular tags
read the descriptions that appear below the tag

If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:

combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. code-golf), up to a maximum of 35 characters
creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
