It is likely that block slapping is an ancestor of the coding which allowed for the [[Mouse Panel Glitch]]. Both behaviors involve an attempted move in one direction, such that another direction entirely is moved. Since the flick is not possible in Lynx, block slapping is its closest relative. | It is likely that block slapping is an ancestor of the coding which allowed for the [[Mouse Panel Glitch]].

== In the original Lynx game == | |||
Block slapping in the original Atari Lynx version of Chip's Challenge is more flexible than in Tile World's emulation. Someone more knowledgeable in the matter should expand this section. | |||
== In Chip's Challenge 2 == | |||
In Chip's Challenge 2, whether or not a block can be slapped depends on the tile that is underneath. If Chip or Melinda could enter the tile normally if there was no block, the block can be slapped; otherwise, slapping is impossible. For example, [[Melinda]] could not slap a block on [[gravel]] unless she has [[hiking boots]], Chip could not slap a block on a [[female-only sign]], and neither Chip nor Melinda could slap a block off a [[lock]] unless they have the appropriate key. | |||
In some situations, it is also possible to slap a block while moving only two tiles. Once again, someone more knowledgeable in the matter should expand this section. | |||
=== Wall slapping === | |||
A variation of block slapping in Chip's Challenge 2 is '''wall slapping'''. If Chip or Melinda moves past a series of walls while holding a second key in their direction, the wall will be slapped. This can reveal [[hidden wall]]s and [[invisible wall]]s, clear fake [[blue wall]]s and expose real ones, and apply [[steel foil]] to walls. | |||
== In official levels == | |||
Block slapping is required to solve [[Two Sets of Rules]] when playing in Lynx. It is also required to solve several Lynx-only levels in [[CCLXP2]]. In addition to this, several other official levels, including [[Zartacla]] and [[Reticulating Splines]], are busted due to block slapping. | |||
