'''Jaime Villacorte's notes''' are a series of notes written in 1990 by Jaime Villacorte about the [[Lynx ruleset|Lynx]] version of [[Chip's Challenge]]. It contains all the [[password]]s, tips for most of the levels, and many diagrams. It has been speculated that these notes were used in the creation of [[Microsoft's version of Chip's Challenge]], as the game and the notes share similar errors from the original Lynx version.
'''Jaime Villacourt's notes''' are a series of notes written in 1990 by Jaime Villacourt about the [[Lynx]] version of [[Chip's Challenge]]. It contains all the passwords, tips for most of the levels, and many helpful diagrams. It has been speculated that these notes were used in the creation of the Microsoft version of Chip's Challenge, as the game and the notes share similar errors from the original Lynx version.

These notes contain a handful of errors which may help explain why the MS version differs from the Lynx version in terms of passwords and [[decade message]]s.
These notes contain a handful of errors which may explain why the MS version differs from the Lynx version in terms of [[password]]s and [[Decade message]]s.


=== Errors in Jaime's notes and in the Microsoft version ===
The Lynx version contained decade messages after completing levels 10 ([[Brushfire]]), 20 ([[Tossed Salad]]), 30 ([[Mishmesh]]), and 40 ([[Floorgasborg]]). Jaime's notes exclude these four messages, but do include the rest. The same goes for MSCC.

Also, the notes contain four password errors, all of which were copied to the MS game. In version 1.01 of the document, the Paranoia password was fixed, however, the MS game still retains it.

In version 1.01 of the document, the Paranoia password was fixed; however, the MS game still retains it.
Interestingly, the notes also contain many errors dealing with the level titles. None of these errors are present in the MS game.
 
=== Errors exclusive to Jaime Villacorte's notes ===
 
Interestingly, the notes also contain many errors dealing with the level titles. None of these errors are present in the MS game, which suggest that the team at Microsoft who ported the game had multiple resources available, most likely including a set of the original Lynx game's 148 level maps and their titles.
