'''Chip's Challenge Level Pack 1''', often abbreviated as '''CCLP1''', is the third community [[level pack]] released on March 28, 2014. Although the name CCLP1 suggests it is the first of a series of level packs, this level pack was released after both [[CCLP2]] and [[CCLP3]]. The name is instead a reference to the fact that CCLP1 is designed specifically for beginners to learn and experience the basics of the game before moving on to the more difficult CCLP2 and CCLP3.
'''Chip's Challenge Level Pack 1''', often abbreviated as '''CCLP1''', is the third community [[level pack]] released on March 28, 2014. Although the name CCLP1 suggests it is the first of a series of level packs, this level pack was released after both [[Chip's Challenge Level Pack 2|CCLP2]] and [[Chip's Challenge Level Pack 3|CCLP3]]. The confusing name is a reference to the fact that CCLP1 is designed specifically for beginners to learn and experience the basics of the game before moving on to the more difficult CCLP2 and CCLP3.


Part of the motivation of designing CCLP1 for beginners is due to the legal status of the original [[Chip's Challenge 1]] level set. The game itself can no longer be legally obtained and the original copyrighted level pack cannot be freely distributed outside of the game. CCLP1 addresses this problem as a free, community-created level pack which players can use with free alternate game engines like [[Tile World]].  
Part of the motivation of designing CCLP1 for beginners was due to the legal status of the original [[Chip's Challenge 1]] level set. Back in 2014, the game itself could no longer be legally obtained and the original copyrighted level pack could not be freely distributed outside of the game; this would be true up until May 2015, when Chip's Challenge 1 was re-released on Steam along with the official sequel, [[Chip's Challenge 2]]. CCLP1 addressed this problem as a free, community-created level pack which players can use with free alternate game engines like [[Tile World]], and as a result may perhaps still remain a better option than picking up CC1 on Steam, which will cost at least $3 assuming no ongoing sales.


CCLP1 was released a week up from the original release date after members of the community solved [[CCLP1 Leaks|five puzzles]] related to CCLP1 on the community forum [http://cczone.invisionzone.com CC Zone]. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiTT_5ZOU2s A trailer] was released on March 23, 2014 showcasing some of the levels in CCLP1 as a reward for solving these puzzles.

==Title Selection==
==Title selection==


There has been some debate as to whether this level pack should actually be titled "CCLP1" or something else, mainly to avoid confusion with [[CC1]] - the original game and levelset. Alternative names such as "CCLP0" and "TWLP1" have been suggested. However, the name CCLP1 has stood the test of time and as of 2019 the majority of the community is in favor of retaining the tile CCLP1.

Alternative names such as ''CCLP0'' and ''TWLP1'', short for ''Tile World Level Pack 1'', have been suggested. However, the name ''CCLP1'' has stood the test of time and, as of 2019, the majority of the community is in favor of retaining the title.

[[J.B. Lewis]] was appointed CCLP1 staff coordinator after a community vote at the end of August 2011. The community was also in favor of allowing the coordinator to appoint the remaining staff. Accordingly, a staff list was announced a couple of weeks later. The list of staff members at the time of the set's release were as follows:

==Level Pack Design and Assembly==
==Design and assembly==


As with all community-created level packs, the plan was for [[Chipster]]s to vote on levels from [[custom level set]]s and select the best 149. The special introductory nature of this set demanded levels that were similar in design to those from CC1, i.e. levels with aesthetically pleasing and consistent design, and levels without difficult puzzles. The first few levels are [[Lesson level|"lesson" levels]] that teach new players what each tile does.

The first few levels are [[Lesson level|"lesson" levels]] that teach new players what each tile does.


Like CC1, the level set is compatible with both the [[Lynx]] and [[MS Ruleset|MS]] rulesets. Suggestions that levels also conform to some or all "pedantic" Lynx rules were considered, but voted against, as it was felt that this would be unnecessarily restrictive.<ref>[https://archive.is/20130617224141/tylersontag.webs.com/index.htm Table of votes on level restrictions], compiled by [[Tyler Sontag]]</ref>

==Voting Process==
==Voting process==


To narrow down the levels that appeared on the ballot, the staff performed a pre-voting elimination. The "whitelist" was then finalized with inputs from the community: "limbo" levels that were fixed by their designers, and "blacklisted" levels that were nominated by at least 2 people (other than the designer), were re-considered for the whitelist.
