He had a far edgier personality on YWOT and was known for pasting softcore porn at Spawn. On a brighter note, he also dabbled in unicode art and would create beautiful structures using 3D cubes. | ||
Mr. Black's YWOT scripts ranged from a moving moth to a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVlyzK65cRc video player that played ''Bad Apple'']. All of these were rendered in braille, but upon moving to OWOT he quickly learned to use [[Octant|octants]] instead.

His creations in early 2026 included an advanced [[Image pasters|image paster]] and a script that projected rotating 3D models onto the canvas. Several of his 2024 scripts also made a return, such as the car and both types of Pacmen scripts. | |||

=== Image paster === | |||
{{main|Image pasters}} | |||
Mr. Black has an [[octant]] paster with a variety of different modes for rendering images. | |||
The script was created during [[The Great Color Ban of 2025/2026]], so links were initially used for color. Individual text colors were incorporated into the paster one by one as they were [[The Great Color Unban of 2026|gradually re-enabled on the front page]].<blockquote> | |||
''yeah, I implemented probably 7 different [[wikipedia:Error_diffusion|error diffusion]] dithering techniques, some matrix diffusion and a color/matrix diffusion'' | |||
''I have a small utility so I can select the dither, it does a full dither of the image, then it scales the image down and does another dither, then restores the size and reads the colour information and combines'' | |||
''someone else already had the same but with only using 1 type of dither, but rescaling the image to get the colours for each cell'' | |||
''but now someone has implemented [[wikipedia:Atkinson_dithering|atkinson dithering]] too, so now it's not uniquely mine'' | |||

=== Mobile Arwing === | === Mobile Arwing === | ||
Commonly referred to as an airplane script. | |||
An updated version of the arwing script that can move around the canvas in addition to spinning in place. Mr. Black can change its size mid animation to create the impression that it is moving closer or farther away from the viewer. He can control the ship manually, or set it to fly down a pre-determined path. | |||
Since it was first deployed at Spawn on February 18th, 2026, Mr. Black has been working to increase the script's frame rate while allowing it to run at larger sizes; currently it experiences a lot of lag from exceeding the front page's ratelimit. Mr. Black also plans to implement "controller support" so that other users can steer the spaceship.<gallery mode="packed" heights="200" caption="Running at Spawn on February 18th, 2026"> | |||

=== Bouncing dots === | |||
First seen on February 20th, 2026. Periods that move in a straight, diagonal line and bounce off of any text they come into contact with. | |||
On February 21st, Mr. Black replaced the periods with colored octant dots. These new dots can slowly break down full block symbols ("█") by causing them to turn lighter every time they are hit (█ -> ▓ -> ▒ -> ░ -> deleted). Certain full blocks can be set to be indestructible. Characters other than full blocks are instantly deleted upon impact. | |||
The bouncing dots are prone to lag when too many are active at once, causing them to leave behind colorful trails of afterimages. | |||
Upon seeing the dots in action, [[Neon1246]] was inspired to create his own version of the script.<gallery mode="packed" heights="200" caption="February 21st, 2026"> | |||

Ran above the [[Center Console]] for a few hours on February 24th, 2026, briefly making for three clocks at Spawn (counting the [[SOP Clock|oldest clock]] and a new one that had appeared the day prior). This clock used the same font as Mr. Black's scrolling text script. | |||
