Hello ChipWits Engineers!
The Winter Games are officially underway, and to celebrate the spirit of competition and precision, we are dropping a brand new update that is all about speed, optimization, and perfect navigation.
Welcome to Update 1.4!
Inspired by the Winter Olympics, we’ve added a new puzzle that will test your bot’s agility.
In Giant Slalom, your mission is to efficiently weave through the 8 randomly-placed Slalom Gates in as few cycles as possible. You're ranked on your average cycle consumption over 32 runs. Can your ChipWit take the Gold, or will it wipe out in the snow?
We have added three new ways to view your stats in real-time, helping you build the ultimate bot.
Need to know how many cycles a new chip is going to take? Pop open the Radial Menu to see any available chip's Cycle Count at a glance.
For the power users who want instant feedback, you can now simply hold down the Ctrl key to get an overview of your cycle count immediately.
You can now see your Chip Count directly in the UI. Keep an eye on your total count without breaking your flow.
We're hoping these changes make it even easier to optimize your code for ChipWit Challenges!
New: Added Chip Count display to the main UI.
New: Added Cycle Count display to the Radial Menu.
New: Holding Ctrl now overlays the Cycle Count.
New Mission: Giant Slalom!
Thank you to everyone who suggested these features in our ChipWits Discord Server. Your feedback helps us make ChipWits better with every update.
Now, get out there and optimize those bots!
Happy Coding!
