Glitch

A glitch in Chip's Challenge is a fault in the program which is caused by a coding error. The majority of glitches occur in Microsoft's version of Chip's Challenge, which was released in 1992. The MS emulation version of Tile World deliberately reproduces these glitches in order to maintain a fair basis for scorekeeping.

The more basic glitches in the MS version are:

• Controller and Boss Glitch
• Teleport Skip Glitch
• Mouse Panel Glitch
• Long First Second Glitch
• Button Smash Glitch
• Tank Top Glitch

Five other more advanced glitches, requiring more conditions to use, are the following:

• Time Dilation Glitch
• Non-Existence Glitch
• Frankenstein Glitch
• Convergence Glitch
• Knight Glitch

Finally, there are three additional glitches which can cause Chip's Challenge itself to crash:

• Transparency Glitch
• Termination Glitch
• Data Size Glitch

Under the advanced coding rules, there are many new glitches which are generally used only in insane levels:

• All types of Data Resetting
• Multiple Tank Glitch
• 00Tile
