Chip's Challenge Wiki

Puzzle Studio is a game Chuck Sommerville is developing due to legal difficulties in releasing Chip's Challenge 2. Sommerville had sold the rights to CC2 to another company, which refuses to release the game unless a large unspecified sum of money is paid. Similar to the emulation of Tile World compared to the MS game, Puzzle Studio is meant to be a legal version of CC2, with different graphics, sounds and source code. A Puzzle Studio level in an incomplete game stage can be watched at the bottom of the page.

Features

Puzzle Studio will operate in the general rules of Tile World Lynx mode, "but with tons of new tiles and special tricks." Chuck details some of the coding being used, as well as the current design of the basic mechanics of each group of tiles, color-coded into ten separate colors. The key and lock code is currently proposed as follows:

White: a master key, opening one of any lock including the grey.

Grey: Chip needs two grey keys per grey lock.

Red: red key; monsters can cross it.

Orange: Chip has to push the key as he would a block to use it on the orange lock . (Coding currently unfinished.)

Yellow: yellow key.

Green: green key.

Blue: blue key as in Tile World Lynx: monsters can erase them by running over them.

Violet: takable and usable by both monsters and players.

Brown: orange key, but monsters can also push it. (Coding currently unfinished.)

Black: only monsters can pick up and use.

There are also all ten colors of teleports, toggle walls, buttons, blocks, robots (related to monsters, or perhaps the monsters in this game), force floors and even Chip!

Current status

There is one board for Puzzle Studio at this time: a Yahoo! group. On this board, members contribute ideas, playtest the current version, and even help design Puzzle Studio itself.
