'''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. The set is also a loose concept set, about the adventures of Chip throughout a variety of areas, trying to escape the [[teeth]] Hoola.
'''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 religiously play CC1 and CCLP2; his scores are 5,962,750 and 5,996,910. He has also joined this wiki as [[User:Eric119|Eric119]], contributing some knowledge of specific [[glitch]]es to it.
Eric does not commonly optimize Chip's Challenge. His scores for [[Chip's Challenge 1|CC1]] and [[Chip's Challenge Level Pack 2|CCLP2]] are 5,962,750 and 5,996,910, respectively. He has also joined this wiki as [[User:Eric119|Eric119]], contributing some knowledge of specific [[glitch]]es to it.


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).
[[Tile World 2]] is currently maintained by Eric.


[[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 [[monster]]s, alter the requirements, add additional sections, or fix previously [[busted level]]s. The levels worked over were, in order of appearance in the set:
Many levels in EricS1 are rough edits of existing [[Chip's Challenge 1|CC1]] levels, which either change some [[tile]]s or [[monster]]s, alter the requirements, add additional sections, or fix previously [[busted level]]s. The levels worked over were, in order of appearance in the set:


* [[Hunt]] (all 788 chips required)
{| class="wikitable sortable"
* [[Traffic Cop]] (Three times; Chip now has to use the [[walker]]s to touch the [[green button]] in the first, there are no monsters at all in the second, and in a much later level, many other obstacles block the path of the walkers)
! # !! Name !! Mod of !! class=unsortable|Changes
* [[Lemmings]] (there are no chips, only one [[water]] space, only one [[block]], and Chip has to infiltrate the [[fireball]] room to reach the exit)
|-
* [[Fireflies]] (no [[gravel]])
| 1 || Chips Galore! || [[Hunt]] || All 788 [[Computer chip|chips]] required
* [[Lesson 8]] (the [[time limit]] is only 5, requiring the use of the bold solution)
|-
* [[Doublemaze]] (all [[thin wall]]s are replaced with random [[force floor]]s, which release the original boundaries of the maze)
| 20 || Traffic Cop || [[Traffic Cop]] || [[Chip]] now has to use the [[walker]]s, and there are only five [[block]]s
* [[Sampler]] (the monsters can now move between rooms, and there are more of them)
|-
* [[Underground]] (all [[dirt]] is replaced with chips)
| 21 || Huh? How Do You―? || [[Traffic Cop]] || There are no [[monster]]s at all, and seven [[block]]s scattered across the level
* [[Castle Moat]] (there are no [[flippers]], and there are many more [[block]]s required than the original long solution)
|-
* [[Invincible Champion]] (Three times in consecutive levels; the [[monster order]] is fixed in one, the [[water]] is also removed in a second level, and the [[glider]]s and [[bug]]s are switched in a third)
| 23 || Fireball Dilemma || [[Lemmings]] || No [[Computer chip|chips]], only one [[water]] space and one [[block]], and [[Chip]] must kill all the [[fireball]]s
* [[Scavenger Hunt]] (Twice; changed to an [[ice]] maze, with the same boundaries, and in the second level, with a [[walker]] [[clone machine]] added at the start)
|-
* [[Southpole]] (additional barriers and a [[red key]] and [[blue key]] added)
| 25 || Shadrach || [[Fireflies]] || No [[gravel]]
* [[Kablam]] (enlarged, made more difficult)
|-
* [[Beware of Bug]] ([[fireball]]s are cloned from what was formerly the exit area, and Chip has to block them off with a [[block]] before they overwhelm the entire level)
| 26 || Smooth Move || [[Lesson 8]] || [[Time limit]] reduced to 5, requiring the [[Bold time|bold]] solution
* [[Strange Maze]] (the [[teeth]] and [[walker]]s now move, and the only destructive obstacles are [[bomb]]s. It is aptly named ''AUGHHHHHhhhhh...'')
|-
* [[Suicide]] (several levels throughout the set, but all with different twists on how to get the gliders into the bombs.)
| 35 || Double [[Forced Entry]] || [[Doublemaze]] || All [[thin wall]]s replaced with random [[force floor]]s, lifting the boundaries of the maze
* [[Drawn and Quartered]] (all dirt and [[gravel]] spaces are now chips)
|-
* [[Forced Entry]] (thirty [[fireball]]s are sliding across the force floors, and the walls are now [[water]])
| 38 || Watch Out || [[Sampler]] || No [[gravel]], more [[monster]]s
* [[I Slide]] (the design is edited without changing the directional movements, and a [[bug]] is also added to the level)
|-
* [[Oorto Geld]] (only one glider will change the [[toggle wall]]s, only one block can be used, many other toggle walls added for art, some [[blob]]s released into the level)
| 39 || [[Paramecia (CCLP2 level)|Paramecia]] II || [[Underground]] || All [[dirt]] is replaced with [[Computer chip|chips]]; similar to [[Clear Out]] in [[Chip's Challenge 2]]
* [[Ice Cube]] (the outer edge is replaced with [[recessed wall]]s, and the bug is also removed)
|-
* [[Trinity]] (complicated with recessed walls, plus a fireball and a glider guarding two of the chips)

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]], was placed in [[CCLP3]].
