[[ | '''Wire''' is a mechanic introduced in [[Chip's Challenge 2]]. It technically not a [[tile]], but instead enables [[floor]] and [[steel wall]]s to carry a signal between various game elements. Pink buttons, black buttons, and logic gates are capable of outputting a signal, and many more tiles can take signal as input. Wires will also be activated if [[Chip]], [[Melinda]], a [[ghost]], or a [[rover]] step on it while equipped with the [[lightning bolt]]. | ||
[[Teleport|Blue teleport]]s can be connected together with wire. If a movable object enters such a teleport network, it must exit a teleport in the same network. Teleports that are not in a network can still link to teleports inside a network. Signal has no effect on these networks. | |||
The [[lightning bolt]], when equipped by a moving object, will supply signal to a wire while stopped on one. The lightning bolt has no effect on wires that are already activated. | |||

'''Logic gates''' perform a logical operation on one or two wire inputs and produce a single output. They consist of the inverter, AND gate, OR gate, NAND gate, and XOR gate. There also exist NOR and XNOR logic gates, but these are not present in Chip's Challenge 2. | |||

The '''counter''' is a gate with two inputs and two outputs. A pulse that enters the counter from right side will increment it by one and from the bottom side will decrement it by one. If the counter is incremented while at 9, it will ''overflow'', output a pulse to the left side, and wrap to 0. If the counter is decremented while at 0, it will ''underflow'', output a steady signal to the top side, and wrap to 9. | |||

The '''latch gate''' has two inputs and one output. The arrow points from the data input to the output, and the input on the opposite side is the latch input. As long as the latch input has a signal, the output will be the same as the data input. When the latch input has no signal, the output will stay the same as it was when the latch input last had a signal. Latch gates can be thought of as storage for one bit of memory. | |||
