I am learning programming in order to add another dimension to my digital art portfolio. As part of the course Practical Computer Science I – Imperative Programming and Object-Oriented Programming at the University of Bremen, I was introduced to the programming language Java and developed the game Artnapping.

The objective of the game is to collect art treasures scattered throughout a museum without being detected by the guards. Players move through exhibition spaces, gradually gathering valuable pieces of jewelry that bear a suspicious resemblance to items recently stolen from the Louvre.

At the same time, guards patrol the museum. If the player enters their field of vision and the view is not obstructed by walls, they are detected. Once a guard reaches the player, the game is lost.

Only after all the treasures have been collected does an exit appear. If the player reaches it, the escape is successful—and the art heist is complete.
