To control your ChipWit, you will need to use these buttons, shown boxed above in green. Play is in the center of this box.
Play
#
The Play button is located between the Restart and Step buttons when you’re in a mission, and it allows you to run your ChipWit’s program continuously without interruption. Here’s how it works:
Continuous Execution #
- Pressing the Play button makes your ChipWit execute its entire sequence of programmed instructions in real time, moving through the grid and performing tasks without stopping.
- This is useful when you want to see how your program performs from start to finish, without manually stepping through each instruction.
Testing Programs in Action #
- The Play button is perfect for running the full program and testing how well your ChipWit completes a mission or handles challenges.
- It allows you to evaluate the overall functionality and efficiency of your programming in one continuous run.
Pause #
When you press the Play button, it transforms into the Pause button. Here’s what happens:
Switch to Pause Mode #
- After starting your ChipWit’s program, the Play button changes to Pause, allowing you to stop the program’s execution at any time.
- Pausing is essential for halting the ChipWit mid-run to check for errors or adjust your strategy.
BE AWARE THAT IF YOU CHANGE YOUR CHIP PLACEMENT AFTER PRESSING PLAY YOU WILL NEED TO RESTART THE LEVEL OVER, ABANDONING CURRENT GAMEPLAY.
Pausing Execution #
- When you press Pause, the ChipWit will freeze in place, stopping its execution at that exact moment.
- This is useful for reviewing the program’s performance, troubleshooting issues, or making adjustments mid-run.
If you did not alter your Chip placement after Pausing you may press the Pause button to resume gameplay.
