'''Eric Schmidt''' is one of the most well-known level designers in the history of [[Chip's Challenge]], making a name for himself with technically intensive compositions, often very long solving times, and many [[monster]] interactions. His first level set, EricS1, is a 165 level long concept set about the adventures of Chip throughout a variety of areas, trying to escape the [[teeth]] Hoola. His far more recent level set, EricS2, is much shorter with only 30 levels and does not have a storyline.

Eric is the only designer to have at least one level in all four community level packs (CCLP1-4), and one of just two people, along with [[Mike Lask]], to have a level in each of the first three packs (CCLP1-3).

Eric Schmidt is one of the most well-known level designers in the history of Chip's Challenge, making a name for himself with technically intensive compositions, often very long solving times, and many monster interactions. His first level set, EricS1, is a 165 level long concept set about the adventures of Chip throughout a variety of areas, trying to escape the teeth Hoola. His far more recent level set, EricS2, is much shorter with only 30 levels and does not have a storyline.

Eric does not commonly optimize Chip's Challenge. His scores for CC1 and CCLP2 are 5,962,750 and 5,996,910, respectively. He has also joined this wiki as Eric119, contributing some knowledge of specific glitches to it.

Tile World 2 is currently maintained by Eric.

Many levels in EricS1 are rough edits of existing CC1 levels, which either change some tiles or monsters, alter the requirements, add additional sections, or fix previously busted levels. The levels worked over were, in order of appearance in the set:

# Name Mod of Changes
1 Chips Galore! Hunt All 788 chips required
20 Traffic Cop Traffic Cop Chip now has to use the walkers, and there are only five blocks
21 Huh? How Do You―? Traffic Cop There are no monsters at all, and seven blocks scattered across the level

72 Suicide II Suicide More pink balls, no block, water surrounding bomb corridor

Twenty-eight of Eric Schmidt's levels were placed into CCLP2, largely stacked in the middling to hard categories. Some of the hardest CCLP2 levels, such as Warehouse II, Exit Chip, Yet Another Puzzle, and Cloner's Maze were created by Eric. Another of his levels, Yet Another Yet Another Puzzle, formerly titled The Last Laugh II, was placed in CCLP3.

Trivia

  • Eric is the only designer to have at least one level in all four Chip's Challenge Level Packs, and one of just two people, along with Mike Lask, to have a level in each of the first three packs.
  • The chairman of Google shares the name Eric Schmidt with this Eric Schmidt, though they are not the same person.
