The car was running alongside as and would often pass over MCL's OWOT-YWOT Bridge, causing it to appear on the YWOT end of the portal. | '''Mr. Black''' was a scripter who migrated from [[Your World of Text]] after learning that OWOT has a higher rate limit, and thus places less restrictions on scripting. | ||
He created an assortment of [[animated scripts]] throughout September 2024, after which he disappeared completely. He returned to YWOT in November 2025 and explained that the reason for his inactivity was that he lost computer access as a result of moving house. | |||
Though his time active on OWOT was brief, Mr. Black's animated creations served as a source of inspiration for another scripter named [[Banksy]], who would create a truly prodigious amount of similar scripts in late 2025 and early 2026. | |||
Mr. Black used various shades of blue for his text color and would occasionally type in all bold. | |||

There was no specialized ending screen for this game and the level would simply reset upon completion.

At one point there was a feature where the Pac Men would duplicate whenever they ate a cherry(🍒). Users soon found a way to exploit this by pasting large amounts of cherries onto the level, generating an ungodly swarm of hungry Pac Men which could then be unleashed onto the rest of the Mainpage. Logically, it wasn't long before Mr. Black disabled this feature, worrying that having large numbers of Pac Men running at once would strain the OWOT server. | At one point there was a feature where the Pac Men would duplicate whenever they ate a cherry (🍒).

On September 24th, Mr. Black began running a water simulator within the Center Console. The water was composed of unicodes blocks whose movement was controlled by Black. | <gallery mode="packed" heights="200"> | ||

The fluid was initially monochrome, but was then given color and shading as Black improved the script.

After a while Mr. Black started to experiment with having a surfer(🏄) float along the water's surface, bouncing up and down with the fluid's movement. Initially the surfer would move left and right in a fixed pattern, but by September 25th it was able to dynamically move around the Center Console. | After a while Mr. Black started to experiment with having a surfer (🏄) float along the water's surface, bouncing up and down with the fluid's movement.

On at least a few occasions the surfer would be catapulted above the Console, at which point it would leave behind a trail of afterimages as the script did not delete characters past a certain range. | On at least a few occasions the surfer would be catapulted above the Console, at which point it would leave behind a trail of afterimages as the script did not delete characters past a certain range. | ||

The water simulator, which eventually received the name Mr Black's WaterPark, was enjoyed fondly by the OWOT community. One user even made a music video by syncing the water's movement to Brazilian Phonk. | |||

== 2026 scripts == | |||
[[File:Animated scripts january 21 2026.gif|center|thumb|Mr. Black's big Pacman along with [[Poopman]]'s Super Mario script, [[Banksy]]'s clock script, and a black orb creature by another user (January 21st, 2026)]] | |||
=== Clock === | |||
A clock script that sporadically appeared on both OWOT and YWOT throughout January 21st, 2026. It was most likely created by Mr. Black since he returned to OWOT on that same day. | |||
The script ran smoothly on YWOT but suffered from repeated glitches on OWOT, where it was only able to run for a few minutes at a time before destabilizing. | |||
Banksy created his own clock script and deployed it alongside Mr. Black's. This was his first time interacting with the user who inspired him to make animated scripts. | |||
On both OWOT and YWOT there were many jokes substituting "cock" for "clock."<gallery widths="210" heights="210" mode="packed"> | |||
