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. | Most of the larger/more extravagant animations from this script did not make it into the final product.

Like the | 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 they 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<ref>512 characters per second for most users.</ref>.<gallery mode="packed" heights="200" caption="Completed version of the script on January 7th, 2026"> | The blob had to be shrunk down from its planned size due to technical constraints.

=== 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 their 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.<gallery mode="packed" heights="200" caption="Banksy showcasing the scripts on his world (January 9th, 2026)"> | |||
