chips-challenge-js
A (WIP) HTML5/JS clone of the 1989 game Chip's Challenge.
Finished elements:
- Player movement
- Chips/Win condition
- Water/Fire/Ice/"Push" tiles
- Boots/Keys
- Locks being accessible with applicable key
Unfinished elements:
- Enemy pathfinding (Partially finished in
core.js) - Dirt "pushable" blocks
- Gravel (Turns to floor tile when stepped on)
- Teleporters
- Info tiles
Please feel free to add+merge missing features.
Level Design
The levels are stored as rectangular text files (row width is expected to be consistent) under /static/resources/maps.
Each character represents a tile on the map, here is the convention used:
| Tile/Entity | Character(s) |
|---|---|
| Player | * |
| Wall | 1 |
| Floor | _ or SPACE |
| Chip | # |
| Chip Gate | = |
| Goal | @ |
| Info | ? |
| Water | W |
| Flippers | w |
| Fire | F |
| Fire Boots | f |
| Ice | I |
| Skates | i |
| Ice Bumper | ? |
| Boost/Push | ^v<> |
| Sticky Boots | g |
| Locks | ABCD |
| Keys | abcd |
| Monster (WIP) | M |
I have started to recreate the "classic" Chip's Challenge levels (Wiki), they are located in /static/resources/maps/official.
Any contributions to the recreation effort are appreciated.
