Lesson level

A lesson level serves as a training level for the rest of the game, and shows most of the tiles the player can encounter. The term can refer to:

• The first eight levels of Chip's Challenge 1, entitled Lesson 1 through Lesson 8
• The first nine levels of Chip's Challenge Level Pack 1, though not labelled in numeric order
• Seven levels in Chip's Challenge 2, entitled Lesson 1 through Lesson 7, though not the first seven levels

It can also refer to other similar levels in custom level sets.

All lesson levels contain hints which explain the main concepts introduced in the level. The CC1 and CC2 lesson levels were all designed by Chuck Sommerville, whereas the CCLP1 lesson levels were primarily designed by Tyler Sontag and Henry Potts, with just one being designed by J.B. Lewis.

Other level sets

CCLP2, CCLP3, CCLP4, CCLP5, and CC2LP1 do not have lesson levels, as they use the same devices and mechanics as the original, and are meant to be played by veteran Chipsters. However, there are some exceptions:

• CCLP3 has the introductory Entrance Examination, where most of the basic mechanics are put into test for newcomers.
• CCLP4 has Proving Grounds, designed around reviewing most of the games elements.
• CCLP5 has Multipurpose Tool, which was initially designed to be a block tutorial from its source set.
• A CC2 level design competition was held in June 2016 where the goal was to design a tutorial level. Several entries in this competition were included in CC2LP1. In order of appearance, they were Wrong of Way (level 2, 5th place), How to Item Drop Like a Champ (level 6, 3rd place), Blocksmith (level 10, 2nd place), Trans-Pachipic Partnership (level 23, 1st place), and Phantoms (level 118, 6th place).

Other uses

Other than the official CC1 and CC2 lesson levels, the term is used to identify any level made in this style, usually introducing a concept not covered in the official lesson levels or to introduce a gimmick of a specific custom level set. For example, pi.dat's lesson 3.141592653589793238 introduces the set's use of the digits of pi as a method of solving its levels.
