What Language Do I Need To Make Hacks

Help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can Use a Multitude of languages to make a game hack.

However you will NEVER make a game hack (unless you just take others source) without learning a language first.

With that said, You asked the question in a C++ section, I assume you have some idea where to start

Well TBH i would learn asembler if you truly want to make hacks, then once you have mastered (or at least got a good grounding of ASM) its not that hard to make hacks in C++ with this fundimental understanding of how programs work. (Sorry if that made a little less sence than it should i am pretty tired and sick atm)

I disagree. ASM is not a good language to start with since it is more conceptual. It would help to just learn C++ and program flow first and then get more basic.

Well to make trainers and stuff ofcourse a top level language like C++ is alot better but to actually "Make hacks" like learning to map the memory of a game and i guess what i mean is descover hacks ASM is the only way to go IMO

@Null::Void is correct. You don't need to code in asm, you just must understand asm and how it corresponds to the program flow and other stuff that you don't see in c++ like the epilogue(push ebp, MOV ebp, esp) and such. By understanding asm you will understand how programs work when analysing them in olly.

First learn the concept of programming. You must choose a language with good Error-catching like Java.
Any "popular" object orientated language will do the trick.

Java.... for gamehacking? O_o What kind of drugs are you on sir?

[t7ancients]

As far as I'm aware, Java is STILL a horrible choice for gamehacking. Theoretically, it COULD work in java, but take a look at what is practical and not theoretical. Most hacks are written in C/C++ and Assembly. There will be more source code, examples, articles, tutorials, etc. for those languages. .NET is rapidly gaining popularity as well, because you can just P/Invoke all the shit you need to make hacks. I don't mess with Java, but I've always heard that it's native interface sucks balls. Also, all the cool kids are doing C/C++/C#. Having a "C" in the name makes a language that much better.

He wasn't suggesting Java for hacks. He was suggesting Java for learning how to program.

[t7ancients]

I'm aware of that, but it would make more sense to go with C/C++ and Assembly from the start. I'm probably biased, I don't like Java.
If he went with Java, he wouldn't learn much if anything about low-level programming. However with C and C++ he would have the OO and low-level all in one, and it would be easy to incorporate assembly into that. Java would teach him program flow and all that mumbo jumbo, but it would take him longer to reach his goal. It would take more time to learn about Java and THEN pursue your hacking goal, when he could do C/C++ and Assembly and at the same time get a better understanding of how it all works together than if he spread it out. Learning more than one language at a time forces you to remember the differences, therefore forcing you to remember what's what in each language. I would just stay away from Java though. Most consumer pc's run Windows, and C# is much better for Windows programs than Java. C# also plays nicely with C/C++ which play nicely with Assembly. Just my opinion, really, and I'm not really that knowledgeable or experienced. I've just seen a lot more meaningful stuff come from C/C++ and .NET than I have Java. You may also notice the little shit-bit Java section is almost dead. If you must learn a high-level language to grasp the concepts, learn C#. Or maybe Nemerle, which is basically the same thing with some pretty fucked up looking syntax. Actually, fuck Nemerle. Stick with C# lol.

[Zyixc]

Remember is also mentioned that any other Object-orientated programming language will do the trick. For example c++ or objective-c.
If you start with the language C it will take you much longer to learn the concept of programming, because you can program real "dirty" in C.

[t7ancients]

To be honest I think it would be easier for a beginner to start with C mainly because of it's lack of OO concepts. "The concept of programming" - You refer to it as though object oriented programming is what it means, when really that's only one paradigm.
