+'''SuperCC''', often known as '''SuCC''', is an open-source Chip's Challenge emulator written in Java. It was created by [[Markus O.]] and has been maintained by [[User:MilkyWayWishes|A Sickly Silver Moon]] following Markus' departure from the community. Unlike [[Tile World]], which aims to emulate the game as closely as possible, SuperCC is geared towards [[Optimization|optimizers]] and can be considered a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tool-assisted_speedrun TASing] program.

+SuperCC emulates the [[MS ruleset]] and does not support [[Lynx ruleset|Lynx]] or [[CC2 ruleset|CC2]] at this time.

 == Features ==
-SuperCC does not emulate the game in real time, taking a step-by-step approach instead. After each move, the game is paused until the player makes another move, or performs a [[half-wait]] (by pressing the spacebar). Bad moves can also be rewinded (with the backspace key). It is also possible to save previous playing states and load them again afterwards.

Additionally, it is possible to save previous playing states and load them again afterwards.
-Unlike [[Tile World]] and [[MSCC]], which only show a 9 by 9 viewport, SuperCC displays the entire 32 by 32 map at once. Additionally, the default [[tileset]] clearly identifies real and fake [[blue wall]]s, [[hidden wall]]s and [[invisible wall]]s.
+Unlike [[Tile World]] and [[Microsoft's version of Chip's Challenge|MSCC]], which only show a 9 by 9 viewport, SuperCC can display the entire 32 by 32 map at once. Additionally, the default [[tileset]] clearly identifies real and fake [[blue wall]]s, [[hidden wall]]s and [[invisible wall]]s, making levels such as [[Now You See It]] far less challenging.
 Another feature unique to SuperCC is seed searching. In levels featuring [[random element]]s, SuperCC can search through all random seeds for the ones that will result in an optimal solution.
-== File formats ==
+=== Accuracy ===
-SuperCC can read levels in [[DAT]] format, and playback [[TWS]] solutions.
+SuperCC emulates the MS ruleset very accurately, and is able to playback all solutions from the [[public TWS]]. The few remaining emulation issues involve mouse usage, certain [[invalid tile]] combinations, and obscure glitches such as the [[Tank Top Glitch]], [[Convergence Glitch]] and [[Multiple Tank Glitch]]. Apart from mouse usage, none of these affect official levels.
-By default, SuperCC solutions are stored in JSON format, plain text files containing a list of moves. SuperCC can also export solutions into TWS format, with anti-cheating modifications.
-== Platform support ==
+Partial support for data resetting was also added, allowing many [[insane level]]s to be solved. However, [[the most insane level ever!]] remains unsolvable in SuperCC as the [[data resetting|autopsy reset]] does not work.
-SuperCC is written in the Java programming language and distributed in a JAR file; therefore, it can run on any system that supports Java 8 or later, including Windows, MacOS and Linux.
