=== Animated Carrion ===

A script based on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnqmBhr4vLM ''Carrion''~~(''2020'')~~] (which was also the inspiration for a [[The Carrion|popular blob entity]] from ~~Spawn~~).

On December 25th, 2024, Banksy set about making a script based on the 2020 video game [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnqmBhr4vLM ''Carrion''] (which was also the inspiration for a [[The Carrion|popular blob entity]] from OWOT).

~~Two versions of the script were~~ used for testing ~~purposes:~~

He used two scripts for testing, the first of which was a circular blob that Banksy could freely maneuver around the canvas. It had several abilities, such as creating a splash effect and attacking text using tendrils.

~~# A circular blob that Banksy could freely maneuver around the canvas. It had several abilities, such as creating a splash effect and attacking text using tendrils.~~

The fully developed Carrion would more or less be a larger version of this script with more features and animations.

~~## This was most likely~~ a ~~simplified~~ version of ~~the following script, meant to test the controls and abilities of the animated Carrion.~~

~~# A colorful~~ script ~~that rendered 3 dimensional physics simulations onto Banksy's page, spawning complex patterns that could grow, 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~~.

The script was started on December 25th, 2025 and completed on January 7th, 2027. The final product was a medium sized, meat colored blob that would automatically attack nearby text using a number of thin tendrils. Like in the 3D physics simulations, Banksy could guide its movement by either clicking where he wants it to go or having it follow his cursor (he could toggle between the two modes using the space bar). The blob was likely intended to be much larger, but was limited in size due to technical constraints. Even in its minimized state it would make more than 3000 edits per seconds, well over the Frontpage's ratelimit.<gallery mode="packed" heights="200" caption="Black and white tests on the front page">

The second testing script was a colorful program that rendered physics simulations onto Banksy's page. It spawned complex, 3 dimensional 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.

As it turned out, 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.

Some of the physics simulations used small blobs (like from the first script) as a base unit for drawing lines. Banksy would later use a similar mechanism to create a dynamic brush tool.<gallery mode="packed" widths="200" heights="200" caption="Colored tests on [https://ourworldoftext.com/banksy /Banksy]">

The final product was a medium sized, meat colored blob that would automatically attack nearby text using thin tendrils. Like the 3D 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 being 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>Around 514 for most users.</ref>.<gallery mode="packed" heights="200" caption="Completed version of the script on January 7th, 2026">
