Intro

What is game hacking in the first place?

  • Game/video game hacking is the process of editing the game source code in order to gain authorized or privileged access. For example, you may hack a game to get more lives {respawns} or more health which gives you an advantage over other players. Game hacking needs a lot of time spent in learning, failure, and more patience if you want to succeed otherwise you’ll give up so easily.

My Recommendation

How does one learn game hacking?

  • There are many resources available everywhere on the internet for those who want to learn game hacking and I will go over what you need in here. Stay tuned!
  • My first recommendation would be to learn computer programming and understand their concept and how they work. Pick a language and I would recommend learning python because it's fast, beginner-friendly to use, and cross-platform. Most people would disagree with me saying that their choices would be C++ because it's fast, compiled, unrestricted, and the industry standard for video games.
  • Most video games are written in low-level programming languages such as C++/C, etc and this is one of the reasons why people recommended I agreed with but if this is your first time learning coding/programming then I’ll say go learn python otherwise learning C, C++ would really hard to understand and there is a chance you giving up in this whole process.

Programming

  • C++
  • Python
  • C
  • C#
  • JavaScript

One who learns any of these languages can accomplish the same goals.

What is the best place to learn C++?

Resources To Learn It

  1. Microsoft Official Doc

(-) https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/?view=msvc-170

2. Codecademy { Easy to follow along, code editor also available on their site}

(-) https://www.codecademy.com/learn

3. Learn CPP{Great and based on documentation

(-) https://www.learncpp.com/

4. Also want to learn other programming languages that I mentioned before?

(-) Simply google them and you’ll find tons of resources on the internet.

If you’re a visual learner, then there are some amazing YouTube channels that have over 100 high-quality C++ tutorials.

YouTube Recommendation

  1. The Chemo

2. Thenewboston C++ Tutorials

(-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvC1WCdV1XU&list=PLAE85DE8440AA6B83

Important Tips: You need to be writing code and doing the exercise as well while learning the content and material else you’ll never going to learn it.

More about C++

  • You’ll need to become a C++ power user to use the Windows API which should take you about a couple of weeks at the very least.
  • Once you know how to make a basic command-line-based calculator, then it’s time for you to start hacking.

Let’s discuss the main topic here which is how we can learn game hacking. There are a few resources that I will recommend for everyone who wants to learn it.

Game Hacking Resources:

  1. Game Hacking Academy

(-) Completely free to use and a great place to learn and explore.
