The '''computer chip''', often known simply as a '''chip''', in lowercase to distinguish it from the [[Chip|main character]], is a tile in [[Chip's Challenge]], which typically [[Chip]] must collect a specified number of in order to open the [[socket]] to reach the [[exit]]. | The '''computer chip''', often known simply as a '''chip''', in lowercase to distinguish it from the [[Chip|main character]], is a tile in [[Chip's Challenge]], which typically [[Chip]] must collect a specified number of in order to open the [[socket]] to reach the [[exit]]. | ||
Some levels have no chips required, which allows Chip to immediately open any existing sockets (only [[Castle Moat]] has no chips ''and'' has sockets in [[Chip's Challenge 1|CC1]]), and some levels have extra chips placed in the level, though some extra chips may be inaccessible (see [[Lesson 6]]) or skippable entirely due to a mistake in the programming or a [[glitch]] of some type. Examples of these, known as one type of [[busted level]], are [[Tossed Salad]], [[Three Doors]], [[Hidden Danger]], and [[Scoundrel]]. | Some levels have no chips required, which allows Chip to immediately open any existing sockets (only [[Castle Moat]] has no chips ''and'' has sockets in [[Chip's Challenge 1|CC1]]), and some levels have extra chips placed in the level, though some extra chips may be inaccessible (see [[Lesson 6]]) or skippable entirely due to a mistake in the programming or a [[glitch]] of some type.

More advanced levels require the player to ''avoid'' collecting enough chips to open sockets, or else a socket [[nail]] will prevent the player from reaching the exit, like in [[Construct-a-Sokoban]]. | ||
Chip is free to collect extra chips beyond the number required to clear the level, though in most cases this will only serve to delay him. ''All'' sockets in the level can be freely opened (and will be left open) once Chip has collected the level's specified number of chips; he does not have to collect any of them over again to pass through multiple sockets or one socket multiple times. In [[Chip's Challenge 2]], additional chips which do not contribute to the level's required chip count have a visibly different chip tile with a plus sign in the editor; they look the same in | Chip is free to collect extra chips beyond the number required to clear the level, though in most cases this will only serve to delay him.
