Banksy is a scripter known for a variety of creations in November and December 2025.

They had another username in 2018, which they have now forgotten. They were active as an anon up until December 20th, 2025, when they took the name /Banksy after creating an image paster to paste the eponymous artist's grafitti at Spawn.

Animated Scripts

Banksy was inspired to create animated scripts after seeing Mr. Black's animations in late 2024. Since then they have created more of these scripts than any other user in the site's history.

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 their stickmen and display their usernames over them.

This is a recreation of a stickman platformer script by lime, which contains many of the same animations but lacks the ability to fire projectiles. You can see that script in action here.

Animated carrion

An animated version of The Carrion, a sentient red blob that frequently appears at Spawn.

Two versions of the script were used for testing purposes:

  1. A circular blob that Banksy could freely maneuver around the canvas. It had several abilities, such as creating a splash effect and destroying text by forming tendrils.
    1. The blob was intended to have color, but was rendered black by the front page's color ban.
  2. A colorful simulation script that was deployed on Banksy's world, generating a series of patterns that became increasingly lifelike throughout the testing process.
    1. Once an animation was started, Banksy could guide its growth by clicking at specific points on the canvas.

The completed script may resemble the monster from Carrion(2020). The user will likely guide a pulsating, ever-expanding mass around the canvas via clicking(like with the pattern simulation script), all while commanding it to perform lashing attacks with its tentacles(like in the circular blob script).


Other scripts

Image pasters

An image paster that pastes from bottom to top. The creator was a former anon named Banksy, who also created a number of animations at Spawn around that time.

Introduced on December 19th, 2025 and was used to paste Gold Ship art and Bansky murals. This was during a period where color was briefly disabled on the Mainpage.

Two more image pasters were introduced on December 24th, 2025, one that renders images using emojis(a popular trend during the 2025 color ban) and one that renders them as outlines.

Miscellaneous

Grid generator(December 22nd, 2025)

Art

Unicode art

Banksy is somewhat sufficient in making simple unicode/SLC art, which is sometimes used in their animations.

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.

More of these can be found on their world /Banksy.

Notes

  1. This was supposed to have color, but was made monochrome due to a temporary color ban imposed on the Mainpage by FP.
  2. The lightning bolt is supposed to be yellow, but is monochrome in this gif due to the 2025 color ban.
