I just stumbled across this (semi-)old (as in Feb 2010 or earlier) blog post about Chip's Challenge, written by a Zach Hall (who I believe may be the creator of the zshall_001 and zshall_002 level sets from 2005, which I previously attributed to Zach Shall). It also has an Amazon link where you can actually still legally buy the Best of Windows Entertainment Pack (although for $89...):

I'm probably going to be blogging a lot, since I have a lot to say that I don't think is worth making a new thread. Anyway, today I started going for bold times seriously, for the first time...ever. Even as a kid though I did some optimizations, I found the faster path to Southpole, got a 50 on Brushfire and a couple other things. Well, today I started in on CC1 proper, trying to go in order and get as many bolds as I could. I didn't get as far as I would have liked, mostly because boosting well is a touch harder than I expected!



This is the progress I have so far and the tracker I made to, well, track it. All but 3 of these took me one or two tries to pull off, those 3 being exactly what you would expect them to be: Lesson 7, Nuts and Bolts, and Trinity. Lesson 7 I took a lot of tries due to getting a feel for boosting again, as well as starting by going for the wrong route (the description on the ChipWiki page is irrespective of the AVI and seemed to only give 137, I updated the page to reflect the AVI). After watching the AVI to see where I was losing time, I got a few 138s and then got the 137. Nothing too bad. Then Nuts and Bolts, where I got the initial boosting down pretty quickly. Honestly, I didn't have too much trouble with it once I realized exactly what to do with the fireballs. I did accidentally run into one though . Finally, Trinity. Trinity was actually really hard for me to get, for a while I didn't fully understand the Spring Slide mechanic but then I realized it was as simple as just holding the arrow key. After that realization, I was still falling short, so I checked the video and realized that after the bug I should backtrack out and get the skates! Never thought to do that before. Still, most attempts I bonked a wall before the glider, boosted past the key or just ran into a wall after it, not even getting to the bottom right corner. Then I had an attempt lose no moves only to fail that section for the first time...then I lost a move somewhere between the bug and the glider, knowing that I could still get the bold if I didn't fail any boosts, I kept going and nailed all of them. The last 30 seconds are just walking and waiting to see what the time was, and it turned out to be the 211. I picked up Hunt, finished Southpole and called it a night. I'll learn Teleblock some other time, since the route goes against everything I've ever done in that level...and I love it

Is anyone else seeing a "bolded" Awards forum when on the CCZone home page, even when all the topics are read?

From what came as an idea to use for CC1, later came to the same idea, but using designer's levels. This set's intention is to reward who are the best known level designers and to credit them on their success. Also, I just updated the set at the time of posting this... yeah. Discuss away in this thread anything regarding this set and if you know any designer that is not credited in this set, please let me know. Otherwise, enjoy

It's just a matter of weeks before CCLP1's release, so we thought we'd do a special Q&A for fun. Tom and I will record a podcast in a few days answering some questions you have about CCLP1! Of course, we can't give away any major spoilers, especially about levels that made it in beyond the five featured in the release poster, but we'll do our best to answer what you ask within reason. So, feel free to ask away in this thread! Question submission will close on Saturday.

I've been looking around for where I can find the original sounds to put in Tile World. I recall someone mentioning that their Tile World both looked and sounded like the original, but I haven't been able to match that. Can someone point me to where I can find the original sounds and what they need to be renamed to, or just upload the files already named correctly?


Thanks in advance.
