=== Roombas === | |||
[[Animated scripts|Mobile scripts]] that slowly crawl around the canvas and delete everything in their paths. Roombas are intended to be a gimmicky spam clearing mechanism that function much slower than manual wiping, and are usually limited to a small radius around the center. Despite this, these scripts are almost universally despised since they lack the ability to distinguish between spam and [[Art|original content]]. | |||
The first roombas originated from [[Your World of Text]] in late 2022. They were then duplicated by a user named [[Catha'Vi]], who brought them to OWOT in 2024. Another scripter named [[Prohibit]] would later create their own roomba in 2025, though this one didn't see much use. | |||
