The “golden” starting position!
The Basics
#
- You must always place your first chip in the top-leftmost spot on the programming grid.
- This is the entry point for your ChipWit’s programming, and it’s where the ChipWit’s “brain” begins processing instructions.
How It Works
#
- Even though your program may flow in different directions (up, down, left, or right) as you add more chips, the very first chip must always go in the top-left corner (or begin at the Stoplight Chip in Classic missions).
- Once this starting chip is placed, you can continue laying out chips in any logical order your program needs, but the execution always begins with that top-left chip.
Code Flow
#
- Your ChipWit will follow the code starting from this point and move along the path of chips you’ve laid out. You can create branches, loops, or different directions for your code, but all those instructions originate from that top-left chip.
This is a key concept for programming in ChipWits: no matter how complex your program gets, it must always start from this fixed position. Think of it as the starting point of your ChipWit’s brain, which activates the rest of your commands.
