Wire is a mechanic introduced in Chip's Challenge 2. It technically not a tile, but instead enables floor and steel walls 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.

Blue teleports 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.

Tiles that accept signal input

A value of pulse in the toggle type column indicates that the tile only needs one frame of signal to toggle, while steady indicates that the tile will be toggled only when the signal is active.

Tile Toggle type
Force floors toggle
Swivel doors toggle
Toggle walls toggle
Red teleports steady
Flame jets toggle
Transmogrifiers steady
Clone machines toggle
Traps steady
Railroad tracks toggle

Buttons and Switches

Pink Button

Template:Infobox Game Tile

The pink button is a button found only in Chip's Challenge 2. When stepped on by Chip, Melinda, blocks, and monsters, it will activate any wire it is connected to.


Black Button

Template:Infobox Game Tile

The black button is a button found only in Chip's Challenge 2. It has the opposite behavior of a pink button: it will activate any wire it is connected to except when stepped on by Chip, Melinda, blocks, and monsters.

Switch

The switch is a special tile in Chip's Challenge 2. When set to the on position, a current will be output through wire that is connected to the switch. When set to the off position, no current will be output. Switches can be toggled by Chip, Melinda, mirror characters, blocks, monsters, and bowling balls.


Logic Gates

Template:Infobox Game Tile

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.

Inverter

The inverter, also called the NOT gate, accepts a single input and inverts the signal. If its input signal is ON, the output signal will be OFF. If its input signal is OFF, the output signal will be ON.

INPUT OUTPUT
A NOT A
0 1
1 0

AND gate

The AND gate accepts two inputs. If both inputs signals are ON, the output signal will be ON. Otherwise, the output signal will be OFF.

INPUT OUTPUT
A B A AND B
0 0 0
0 1 0
1 0 0
1 1 1

OR gate

The OR gate accepts two inputs. If at least one of the input signals are ON, the output signal will be ON. Otherwise, the output signal will be OFF.

INPUT OUTPUT
A B A OR B
0 0 0
0 1 1
1 0 1
1 1 1

NAND gate

NANDgate.png

The NAND gate accepts two inputs. It is equivalent to an AND gate immediately followed by an inverter. If both input signals are ON, the output signal will be OFF. Otherwise, the output signal will be on.

INPUT OUTPUT
A B A NAND B
0 0 1
0 1 1
1 0 1
1 1 0

XOR gate

XORgate.png

The XOR gate gate accepts two inputs and performs an exclusive or operation. If one or the other of the two input signals is ON, the output signal will be ON. If neither input signals are ON or both input signals are ON, the output signal will be OFF.

INPUT OUTPUT
A B A XOR B
0 0 0
0 1 1
1 0 1
1 1 0
