ARTIST STATEMENT STUDY 6

Poppy’s project is a very simple game of ‘find the clown’ in a tall building with lots of windows. I thought I would have to really squint hard to find the clown but it to turns out its not even in the building but in the top right-hand corner in the sky. To be fair, the project is still in its early days and there are always room for improvement.

I like the idea and I feel like it could go in the direction of where’s wally. However, to make it more complicated, if you do not find the clown, then the position of the clown will automatically change within the map.

The map will be displayed as a large resolution image and the clown shall be hidden away inside the image. There will be a timer next to the map and a toggle to start the game. At every 50 second interval the clown’s position shall be changed into a random position within the map until the player has seen the clown and clicked on in. I have managed to move the clown in random areas with a timer. However I am currently having difficulty converting the clown into a button as well has having the random positioned confined to the parameters of the ‘clown map’.
