{{main|Animated scripts#Fireworks script}} | |||
Unicode fireworks that slowly explode on the canvas. The script was originally created by [[FP]] for less destructive purposes, but has since been exploited for spam. You can see it in action [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avAYxAhByzw here] at 1:00. | |||
Like many other spam scripts, the firework script has also been ported to [[Your World of Text]] in black and white form. | |||
