The '''Time Dilation Glitch''', also referred to as the ''pre-move bug'', is an odd behavior in [[Microsoft's version of Chip's Challenge]], occurring after [[Chip]] kills himself with a mouse move.

Assuming Chip was previously on the map (see [[Non-Existence Glitch]]), if Chip dies as a result of moving onto a [[destructive obstacle]] or [[monster]] as commanded by the mouse, then the next playing of this level only will have all monsters advanced forward by one turn. [[Teeth]] and [[blob]]s, therefore, will move forward only if they were originally in [[odd step]], and will convert to odd step if they started in even step. All tiles will respond to monster interaction as a result of this "time dilation" just as they would normally.

Although this would normally cause a problem with increased scores, not having to wait an extra [1] for an obstacle, it does decrease the level score, and more importantly, because of the way the mouse click is ordered, the game records the second as having not counted down when the move Chip died on normally would, which stops the player from [[clock setting]] along with his death. Although clock setting is not required in [[Tile World]], the Time Dilation Glitch does not exist in Tile World.
