<blockquote>''I'm surprised this username isn't taken yet'' '''— Banksy after creating his account on December 20th, 2025'''</blockquote><blockquote>''this implies banksy retired from graffiti and started to make owot scripts instead'' '''— [[Katiserie]]'''</blockquote>'''Banksy''' (named after the [[wikipedia:Banksy|pseudonymous street artist]]) is a user who showed up as an [[Anons|anonymous]] spammer in October 2025. Since then he has become one of the most prolific scripters in the site's history, creating multiple scripts daily at the peak of his activity. He is responsible for making more [[animated scripts]] than any other user on OWOT<ref>That we know of.</ref>.


Banksy had another username in 2018 but has since forgotten it. He was active as an [[Anonymous users|anon]] up until December 2025, when he took the name "Banksy" after creating an [[Image pasters|image paster]] to paste his namesake's grafitti at [[Spawn]].
In January 2026 he also became a prolific [[Symbols for Legacy Computing|SLC]] artist.
 
Banksy discovered OWOT in 2018 and had another username back then, which he no longer remembers. He returned to OWOT in October 2025 and took the name "Banksy" in December, after creating an [[Image pasters|image paster]] to paste his namesake's graffiti at [[Spawn]].

'''Banksy:''' ''No but my papers are in robotics. im burnt out rn so im spending it burnt out in owot LMAO''</blockquote>Banksy's scripts range from simple, looping graphics to fully playable games, to more complex mechanisms such as full on physics simulations that run on the canvas. Some of his earlier creations (most notably the [[Center Console]] animations) were reminiscent of [[Mr. Black]]'s animations from late 2024, which Banksy had witnessed and was a fan of.
'''Banksy:''' ''No but my papers are in robotics. im burnt out rn so im spending it burnt out in owot LMAO''</blockquote>Banksy started scripting in October 2025 after creating an image paster to [[spam]] his creation "Sex Gun" at [[Spawn]]. After being rate limited by [[FP]], Banksy turned to the wiki where he gained some scripting insight by reading the [[Docs]] page. He also learned about [[Mr. Black]]'s animations from late 2024, which inspired him to create similar scripts. Since then, Banksy's creations have ranged from simple, looping graphics to fully playable games, to more complex mechanisms such as full on physics simulations that run on the canvas.


Banksy's initial works from November 2025 were extremely slow and struggled under the frontpage's ratelimit of 512 edits per second. But starting from December 17th, 2025, he began to optimize his scripts by making it so that only the necessary cells are updated with each frame. This allowed later animations to run significantly smoother and achieve higher levels of sophistication.

=== Platformer stickman ===
=== Platformer stickman ===
A user-controlled stickman that runs around the canvas, climbing over text and destroying them by firing projectiles. Users with this script can customize the colors of his stickmen and display his usernames over them.  
Based off of a stickman script by [[Lime.owot|lime]], which is accessible at [https://ourworldoftext.com/funbox /Funbox] as "Platformer." See [https://files.catbox.moe/5qk1z4.mp4 here] for a recording of someone using it to parkour around Spawn.  


This is a recreation of a stickman platformer script by [[Lime.owot|lime]], which contains many of the same animations but lacks the ability to fire projectiles. You can see that script in action [https://files.catbox.moe/5qk1z4.mp4 here].
The original script could run on and climb up text, but Banksy gave it the ability to erase characters by firing bullets or performing an AOE "ellipse blast."


Banksy released his platformer stickman [https://pastebin.com/jUYTyS79 to the public] in November 2025. Prolific users of it included [[NextOS]], [[Voidi]] and [[qwas]].<gallery widths="200" heights="150" mode="packed">

=== Sex Gun ===
{{main|List of running jokes in OWOT}}
[[File:Sex gun backstory.png|thumb|263x263px|Banksy reminiscing about Sex Gun (January 16th, 2026)]]
"Sex Gun" originated as a joke by another [[Anons|anon]] in chat, which inspired Banksy to submit a gun that "splooges every target" into [[NextOS]]' world [https://ourworldoftext.com/weaponinfo /Weaponinfo]. It was promptly removed, causing Banksy to spam image pastes all over [[Spawn]] as a form of protest. This was the first time he ever scripted on OWOT.

/Banksy redesign on January 5th, 2026[1][2]

I'm surprised this username isn't taken yet — Banksy after creating his account on December 20th, 2025

this implies banksy retired from graffiti and started to make owot scripts instead Katiserie

Banksy (named after the pseudonymous street artist) is a user who showed up as an anonymous spammer in October 2025. Since then he has become one of the most prolific scripters in the site's history, creating multiple scripts daily at the peak of his activity. He is responsible for making more animated scripts than any other user on OWOT[3].

In January 2026 he also became a prolific SLC artist.

Banksy discovered OWOT in 2018 and had another username back then, which he no longer remembers. He returned to OWOT in October 2025 and took the name "Banksy" in December, after creating an image paster to paste his namesake's graffiti at Spawn.

His text color is #000055.

Old /Banksy

Animated scripts

name: how long did it take you to make and/or learn all of this?

Banksy: i have a background in C++ and python so it's just learning the javascript syntax

name: have you made similar projects before this one on owot?

Banksy: No but my papers are in robotics. im burnt out rn so im spending it burnt out in owot LMAO

Banksy started scripting in October 2025 after creating an image paster to spam his creation "Sex Gun" at Spawn. After being rate limited by FP, Banksy turned to the wiki where he gained some scripting insight by reading the Docs page. He also learned about Mr. Black's animations from late 2024, which inspired him to create similar scripts. Since then, Banksy's creations have ranged from simple, looping graphics to fully playable games, to more complex mechanisms such as full on physics simulations that run on the canvas.

Banksy's initial works from November 2025 were extremely slow and struggled under the frontpage's rate limit of 512 edits per second. But starting from December 17th, 2025, he began to optimize his scripts by making it so that only the necessary cells are updated with each frame. This allowed later animations to run significantly smoother and achieve higher levels of sophistication.

All scripts from December 19th, 2025 to ????, 2026 were rendered monochrome due to a color ban on the frontpage. See Banksy's world for the colored versions, as well as some scripts that are not captured here.

Unless stated otherwise, all gifs on this page are playing at real time.

Platformer stickman

Based off of a stickman script by lime, which is accessible at /Funbox as "Platformer." See here for a recording of someone using it to parkour around Spawn.

The original script could run on and climb up text, but Banksy gave it the ability to erase characters by firing bullets or performing an AOE "ellipse blast."

Banksy released his stickman to the public in November 2025. Prolific users of it include NextOS, Voidi, qwas, and JunoTehPlanet.

Text scrambler

Various scripts that scramble text.

December 17th, 2025

Animated Carrion

On December 25th, 2024, Banksy set about making a script based on the 2020 video game Carrion (which was also the inspiration for a popular blob entity from OWOT).

He created two testing scripts throughout the animated Carrion's development process, the first of which was a circular blob that Banksy could freely maneuver around the canvas. It had several abilities, such as creating a splash effect and attacking text using tendrils. The fully developed Carrion would more or less be a larger version of this script with more features and animations.

The second testing script was a colorful program that rendered physics simulations onto Banksy's page. It spawned complex patterns that could grow and pulsate, and that became increasingly lifelike throughout the testing process. Once an animation was started, Banksy could guide its growth by clicking at specific points on the canvas. This was meant to serve as a test for how the completed Carrion would move.

Most of the larger/more extravagant animations from this script did not make it into the final product. Some were cut due to technical restrictions and to prevent the Carrion from being too destructive.

Some of the physics simulations used small blobs (like from the first script) as a base unit for drawing lines. Banksy would later use a similar mechanism to create a dynamic brush tool.

The script was completed on January 7th, 2026.

The final product was a medium sized, meat colored blob that would automatically attack nearby text using thin tendrils. Like the physics simulations, Banksy could guide its movement by clicking where he wanted it to go, upon which the blob would rapidly glide to the desired location using a special animation. There was also a mode where the blob would slowly travel towards Banksy's cursor, with Banksy using the space bar to toggle between the two types of locomotion.

The blob had to be shrunk down from its planned size due to technical constraints. Even in its minimized state it would make up to 3000 edits per seconds, well over the Frontpage's ratelimit[18].

Fast scripts

Vehicles that Banksy could maneuver around the canvas, each with its own mechanism for destroying text.

The assets for these scripts were created in Desmos and coded in Javascript. Like several of his other scripts, the animations are converted to octants using an algorithm that Banksy calls the Geometry Engine.

Banksy wanted the following scripts to run as fast as possible, so all of them exceeded the Frontpage's rate limits.

Boids

Small octant fish that automatically form into schools, with the ability to steer around both each other and general text in their vicinities. The finished script was somewhat clunky and the fish had a tendency to get stuck in text-dense areas.

The idea was suggested by d9eoead on January 7th, 2026.

Showcase on January 15th, 2026 (Sped up 10x)[9]

Other scripts

Image pasters

Banksy has created several unique image pasters.

SLC spam scripts

Automatically spreading spam scripts that were created in November 2025, alongside his first SLC paster.

Blobby Paint

A script for doodling on the canvas.

Like the animated Carrion scripts, it creates lines by chaining together black dots of various sizes.

On January 6th, Banksy started experimenting with a colored version of the script in his personal testing world. This update also introduced high quality brush styles, making it by far the most complex brush script at the time.

Miscellaneous

Art

The following art (and more that aren't featured here) can be found on /Banksy. See /Banksy/b for WIP versions of certain drawings.

Unicode art

Banksy is somewhat sufficient in making simple unicode art, which is sometimes used in his animations.

Image paste traces

Created by tracing over image pastes using Symbols for Legacy Computing.

SLC art

Banksy also makes entirely original SLC art.

Link art

The following images were created by Banksy during the 2025 color ban, when (excluding emojis) only coordinate and URL links could be used for color. With this limited palette in mind, Banksy made purposeful decisions to highlight important parts of these monochrome image pastes, giving them an artistic quality in the process. The relative rarity of color would have also made these additions all the more eye-catching for users active during the color ban.

A couple of these are also entire handmade.

Other creations

Sex Gun

Banksy reminiscing about Sex Gun (January 16th, 2026)

"Sex Gun" originated as a joke by another anon in chat, which inspired Banksy to submit a gun that "splooges every target" into NextOS' world /Weaponinfo. It was promptly removed, causing Banksy to spam image pastes all over Spawn as a form of protest. This was the first time he ever scripted on OWOT.

Banksy would later form a truce with NextOS by giving him his platformer stickman script in return for letting Sex Gun back into /Weaponsinfo, to which NextOS obliged. Though Banksy never ended up restoring the Sex Gun since the original art had been lost. However, multiple users have since created their own renditions of the fabled weapon.

The world /SexGun was namesniped from Banksy by another user, and to this day he yearns desperately to possess it.

While he was spamming Sex Gun around Spawn, Banksy was occasionally referred to as the "Sexgunner." This was before he had given himself a username.

Script compilation

Released on January 15th, 2026, after an anon demanded it in exchange for $100,000.

Notes

By Schjessu (January 11th, 2026)
  1. The Center Console is a replica of the YWOT spawn box. "Is muh bennis" was a running gag from YWOT in the early 2020s (and possibly earlier) where someone would write "is muh bennis" beneath the Spawn box almost every day.
  2. The redesign occurred from January 5th to January 7th. The end result was more intentionally formatted than the previous layout of the world and introduced a teal motif, which was added to some pre-existing scripts.
  3. That we know of.
  4. Turn up brightness to see all details.
  5. Original colors were various shades of red.
  6. 6.0 6.1 6.2 6.3 6.4 6.5 See full color version on /Banksy.
  7. This script originally used a dynamite stick emoji instead of a bomb emoji.
  8. FP and PinkiePie (among others) have created similar scripts in the past.
  9. 9.0 9.1 9.2 9.3 9.4 9.5 9.6 9.7 Animations spawn wherever Banksy clicks.
  10. it was intended to be like giant amoeba but when i coded the cut-off to be late it looked like worms which i thought were cool — Banksy
  11. The worms/snakes/amoebas were made from octants, and were yellow in their full-colored states. Banksy also created thinner, longer worms.
  12. From generating too many hearts in one place. The glitchy effect is created whenever two hearts touch.
  13. 13.0 13.1 The butterflies were initially orange, but got changed to teal in order to match the colors of Banksy's page.
  14. Accessible at /flipnote. This is the Flipnote logo.
  15. Scrolling text script is by Mr. Black. Clock is by an unknown user.
  16. The eyes can be set to either follow Banksy's mouse or move automatically.
  17. Grey highlights are from the script exceeding OWOT's ratelimit by pasting too fast. Another side effect of this is that certain animations often leave behind afterimages.
  18. 512 characters per second for most users.
  19. Based off of https://oscarliang.com/inverse-kinematics-implementation-hexapod-robots/.
  20. Created on January 17, 2026, around the time that season two of Frieren started airing.
  21. Don't remember the exact date.
