Pointers

Ok, So i have been coming back to hacking after I veered off a little to learn some d3d and winsock. I hacked Spider Solitaire for practice and i made a c++ program to use the address I got that stored the score. The problem is that the address is dynamic so it is changed every time i start up Spider Solitaire. So i did a pointer search and i got the pointer, and it works and is the same everytime, but the problem is, I don't know what the address of the pointer is. All it says in my address box is:

P->xxxxxxxx

How do i know what the address of the pointer is?

address of pointer is the current address that's value is "P->xxxxxxxx" as you put it.

I don't get it Kibbles. How would i know which address has the value of p->xxxxxxx ? What i was saying was that the address of the pointer is p->xxxxxxx, but obviously i can't hardcode that into my c++ trainer because it's not a valid address. I just want to know what the address of p->xxxxxxxx is.

You read the value of the 'xxxxx' address using RPM and once you've read it, you need to use the value from RPM to do whatever your trying to do like WriteProcessMemory, etc.

Pointers literally point to another address.
