[[ | [[CCLP2]] was first released in 2002, prior to any stable release of [[Tile World]]. At the time, Microsoft's version of Chip's Challenge was the only way to play Chip's Challenge, and the [[Lynx]] ruleset was nearly unheard of. As a consequence, CCLP2 contains 48 levels that are unplayable in Lynx, generally due to [[invalid tile]]s. 21 additional levels are playable (but unsolvable) in Lynx. | ||

However, 69 of CCLP2's remained unplayable in Lynx. There were several unofficial attempts at making CCLP2 entirely Lynx-compatible, but it took until late 2011 for a project to be formally organized. | ||

Whenever possible, the levels were edited in such a way that the [[MS]] [[bold time|bold]] route could also be executed in the edited versions.

These levels had LX added to their titles. In addition to this, all [[monster]]s were removed from the [[monster list]] so that they remain motionless in MS, and all [[block]]s were turned into [[clone block]]s so they could not be pushed in MS. This rendered all LX levels unsolvable in MS. | ||
The CCLXP2 staff attempted to contact as many designers as possible for permission to edit their levels. Out of the 17 designers who contributed to CCLP2, only 6 were successfully contacted, all of whom gave permission to have their levels edited. | The CCLXP2 staff attempted to contact as many designers as possible for permission to edit their levels.

A variant called "Fireball and Water" was considered but ultimately rejected as the original was solvable despite being difficult. To mitigate the difficulty, an extra hint was added in the CCX file and displayed before playing the level. A similar hint was added for [[Run-a-Muck]] which has a difficult section with a [[Teeth]] right at the end of the level. | ||

Other such levels were [[Ranger Denmark]], [[Traps I]], and [[Yike-O-Matic]]. All these had overly difficult solutions in Lynx that were made a bit more reasonable without actually compromising on the best possible times that can be scored on either version. This seemed like a reasonable compromise. | ||
