ChipWits was a 1984 game for the Apple Macintosh, programmed by Doug Sharp and Mike Johnston. The player would use an iconic programming language to teach a virtual robot how to navigate various mazes. The gameplay straddled the line between entertainment and programming education.

ChipWits won numerous awards, including MACazine Best of '85, and MacUser's Editor's Choice 1985 Award.

The game was developed in MacFORTH, and later ported to the Apple II and C-64.

Mike Johnston and Doug Sharp have announced on ChipWits.com that a new version is coming in 2007.
