'''CCLXP2''' is the Lynx-compatible version of [[CCLP2]]. | '''CCLXP2''' is the Lynx-compatible version of [[CCLP2]]. | ||
== Background == | |||
[[CCLP2]] was first released in 2002, prior to any stable release of [[Tile World]]. At the time, Microsoft's version of Chip's Challenge was the only way to play Chip's Challenge, and the [[Lynx]] ruleset was nearly unheard of. As a consequence, CCLP2 contains 48 levels that are unplayable in Lynx, generally due to [[invalid tile]]s. 21 additional levels are playable (but unsolvable) in Lynx. | |||
As the years went by, the Lynx ruleset gradually grew in popularity, and it was decided that CCLP3 and CCLP1 would be Lynx-compatible. However, 69 of CCLP2's remained unplayable in Lynx. There were several unofficial attempts at making CCLP2 entirely Lynx-compatible, but it took until late 2011 for a project to be formally organized. | |||
== Project goals == | |||
The goal was to edit levels in such a way that they would remain in the spirit of the originals. Whenever possible, the levels were edited in such a way that the [[MS]] [[bold]] route could also be executed in the edited versions. Such levels had an asterisk * added to their titles. | |||
However, there were some cases when it was impossible to preserve the MS bold route. These levels had LX added to their titles. In addition to this, all [[monster]]s were removed from the [[monster list]] so that they remain motionless in MS, and all [[block]]s were turned into [[clone block]]s so they could not be pushed in MS. This rendered all LX levels unsolvable in MS. | |||
The CCLXP2 staff attempted to contact as many designers as possible for permission to edit their levels. Out of the 17 designers who contributed to CCLP2, only 6 were successfully contacted, all of whom gave permission to have their levels edited. | |||
== Release == | |||
A beta release of CCLXP2 occurred on 9 August 2014. Following community feedback, a few levels received additional modifications, and the final version of CCLXP2 was released on 6 June 2015. | |||
== Levels with minor changes *== | |||
== Levels with significant changes LX == | |||
== Special cases == | |||
* [[Glider and Fire]] was left unchanged. A variant called "Fireball and Water" was considered but ultimately rejected. | |||
* [[Zartacla]]'s bust was left in. | |||
* [[Cloner's Maze]], while originally solvable in Lynx, was modified so that the MS solution could become possible in Lynx. | |||
