In the [[MS ruleset]], when searching for the [[Chip]] tile which the player moves, ''reverse reading order'' is used. Chip's Challenge game will begin searching from the [[grid]] coordinate [31, 31] and move west, and then move to the next row all the way to row 0 in the same manner. If [0, 0] is reached and no Chip tile exists, the search stops there and the principles of the [[Non-Existence Glitch]] are used to determine what to do. | |||
When any object runs into a teleport, ''reverse wrappable reading order'' is used instead. The teleport's direction is the starting location, and if [0, 0] is reached with no legal exit from a teleport, Chip's Challenge wraps back to [31, 31] until either a valid teleport or the same teleport is reached, whichever comes first. | When any object runs into a [[teleport]], ''reverse wrappable reading order'' is used instead. The teleport's direction is the starting location, and if [0, 0] is reached with no legal exit from a teleport, Chip's Challenge wraps back to [31, 31] until either a valid teleport or the same teleport is reached, whichever comes first. [[Chip's Challenge 2]] also uses ''reverse wrappable reading order'' for [[blue teleport|blue]] and [[yellow teleport]]s. | ||

In solution guides, ''forwards reading order'', going from [0, 0] to [31, 31], is often used to vastly simplify the guides to levels with long [[block]] pushing, a lot of closely packed blocks to push which would require very unwieldy disambiguation, or both. | In solution guides, ''forwards reading order'', going from [0, 0] to [31, 31], is often used to vastly simplify the guides to levels with long [[block]] pushing, a lot of closely packed blocks to push which would require very unwieldy disambiguation, or both. | ||

The line is teal in CCLD and green in CCCreator. The following image, cut from [[The Mystery of the Seven Chips]], shows how this works: | ||

Note that even if the indicated move would be illegal, as it would if Chip slid L through teleport 4, all three editors mentioned above ''always'' show the next teleport in sequence, so be aware of the surroundings when using an editor to sort out teleport paths. | |||
