How to Play

The CCLP1 package contains the following files:-

Using Tile World

To play CCLP1 using Tile World 2 or Tile World, just copy the data and sets directories to Tile World's standard location for these files. On Windows, this is the directory where Tile World has been installed. On Linux, the default location is /usr/local/share/tworld.

With Tile World, you have the choice of playing CCLP1 under either the original Lynx ruleset (which also features animated gameplay), or under the MS ruleset (as in Microsoft Chip's Challenge). Tile World also records your solutions automatically and lets you play them back later.

Using Microsoft Chip's Challenge (MSCC)

To play CCLP1 using the Microsoft version of Chip's Challenge, all you need is the CCLP1.dat file from the data folder. To make MSCC use this file, you will need a program such as CCTools, Chip's Controls or MyChips.

Note that MSCC is a 16-bit Windows program that will not run on other operating systems such as Linux and Mac OS X, and requires additional steps to run smoothly on 64-bit Windows (more information here).

The Story

The story continues as Chip makes his way through challenge after challenge.

If you're using Tile World 2 and have installed the CCLP1.ccx file, the story will be displayed within the game.

And who knows, you might also pick up a hint or two along the way!

Thanks to...

The CCLP1 Staff: J.B. Lewis (Staff Coordinator), Dave Varberg (Speaker for the Staff), The Architect (Content Creator), James Anderson (Webmaster), Tom Patten (Voting Coordinator), Rock Généreux (MS Ruleset Playtester), Skye Climenhaga (MS Ruleset Playtester), Tyler Sontag (Lynx Ruleset Playtester), and Paul Gilbert (Lynx Ruleset Playtester) - without whom this project would still have been very much possible. But hey, somebody had to co-ordinate the project, organize the voting, compile the set and playtest the levels, right?

The playtesters: Joshua Bone, Flynn Burklin, Joshua Carl, Bryce Hall, Nicholas Hoffnagle, Beth Johnson, Nazmus Khandaker, Jonathan Roosa, and Chuck Sommerville - whose outside feedback helped the staff gain much more perspective.

Ahmed Aly - for implementing the voting system on CC Zone.

Everyone in the Chip's Challenge community - whose votes, feedback, continuous encouragement and occasional nagging helped make this project a success.

- for designing levels and offering them for inclusion in CCLP1. Due to the number of levels in the set being limited, some designers could not have their creations included in CCLP1, but they certainly offered some stiff competition to the ones that did. The detailed list of levels and authors can be found here.

John Elion, Christopher Elsby, Michael Hansen, and Yongyi Chen - for developing the excellent level editors using which these levels could be made.

Brian Raiter, Madhav Shanbhag, and Eric Schmidt - for developing Tile World, thereby making both the Lynx and MS modes of Chip's Challenge available for playing on the various operating systems in use today.

Chuck Sommerville - for creating that amazing, timeless, classic game called Chip's Challenge.
