Data-ChipsChallenge version 0.01 ================================ This module provides an interface for reading and writing to Chip's Challenge data files ("CHIPS.DAT") that is shipped with Best of Windows Entertainment Pack's Chip's Challenge. Chip's Challenge is a 2D tilebased maze game. The goal of each level is usually to collect a certain number of computer chips, so that a chip socket can be opened and the player can get to the exit and proceed to the next level. This module is able to read and manipulate the data file that contains all these levels. For some examples, see those in the "eg" folder shipped with this module. Documentation on the CHIPS.DAT file format can be found at this location: http://www.seasip.demon.co.uk/ccfile.html This module only provides the mechanism for which you can read and manipulate a CHIPS.DAT game file. However, it cannot include a copy of the official CHIPS.DAT, as that file is copyrighted by its creators. If you have an original copy of the Chip's Challenge game from the BOWEP collection, you can use its CHIPS.DAT with this module. If you don't have a copy of the game (and I imagine you don't, since the game was only well-known in the Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 era), you can always, um, search Google for it. But I didn't say that. INSTALLATION To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install DEPENDENCIES This module requires these other modules and libraries: strict warnings If you don't have these modules, immediately alert your local sysadmin about how your Perl installation is unstable and logically shouldn't even be able to exist right now.
