How to get started with Game hacking!

[Yemiez]

As the title says, this is going to be a tutorial on how to get started with game hacking, I've seen quite a few people around here asking about how. Most people will probably not read this anyways, since this is a thread they have to read, which they dont want to.
But for the people that actually want to learn and is dedicated to learn a programming language than move on to game hacking, Welcome.

Disclaimer: Learning to hack games will take time and effort.
If you are not willing to put effort in, or dont have the time. Than bugger off

First thing you will need to learn is the absolute basic of a language, if you wanna learn how to hack games, you will need to know how to program in a certain language, I myself use C++, you can do C++, C#, C or any other language!
Now, have you decided to actually spend time and Learn?

If yes, i will direct you to a few beginner tutorials for how to learn C++, since that is the language im learning, and theese are some of the tutorial series i have watched. First series is(Just search on youtube!): Coding newbie HD c++ 1-19, Why I've choose this series is because his videos are very detailed about what is what and how to use what and how to not use what. His video's also encourage you to create your own programs in a challenge by using methods in your own way, but still using the stuff you learned from him! Great, right?

Next series im gonna recommend is CrazywinkStudios Learning C++ For Game Hacking Pt 1-24, this series is obviously for game hacking since that is what the title says, now he doesn't actually do anything related to game hacking, he only shows you the basics of c++ so you can understand videos about how to actually hack a game!

Next series: TheNewBostons C++ series, this guy has the most videos so far about C++, and he explains vital parts of the language in a very detailed but easily understandable way, one could say he has dragged the series out, but if you are having a hard time gripping on with C++ from the other 2 tutorial series, he will explain them thoroughly in high detail with pictures showing how the process goes, what goes first etc.


Now, hopefully after you've learned the basics, to actually test your skills to see what you remember about game hacking, im gonna give you a


few challenges that you should be able to make pretty easily if you have actually watched and learned!
Challenges/ideas to sharpen your skills: (Credits to @Motherflufferr for the challenges, im to lazy to make them myself so i copy pasta)
Small programs: (Remember, google is your best friend!)
Challenge 1:1
Make a program that takes first name, last name, and birth year, month, date and stores it to a .txt file.
Challenge 1:2
Same program as above but if the file already exists it greets the user with first name, last name and prints out how old they are and wishes them happy birthday if it is the user's birthday.
Challenge 1:3
Same program as above but with a whole family.
Challenge 1:4
Same program but stores more info as favorite sports and so on (chosen by user, so you ask them if they have anything they want to say about them selves.)
Hint(s): fstream

Bigger programs:
Challenge 1:1
Make a 'bot' that answers the users questions and asks them.
Hint(s): If/else, switch
Challenge 1:2
Make it store info if the user says wrong answer or something similar.
Challenge 1:3 (This one is very hard)
Make it remember stuff, learn, like a human.




Once you feel comfortable with the language you have choosen, you can move onto big tutorials.
My "Definition" of big tutorials, is ofcourse the ones Fleep makes, his videos are incredibly indepth and explains alot, if you want to learn how to actually read values and use the values to know when you should shoot, hop or something else!
Fleeps tutorials for hacking are really good!
There's also a Great tutorial here on the forum by Motherfluffer (cant mention again, already mentionen him further up), this tutorial shows how to create a simple triggerbot that simulates a mouse press to shoot once your cursor is on an enemy! It is really, a great tutorial! Link:
Motherfluffer's tutorial


If any of you want me to include something else, make sure to tell me and I'll edit it in!
1 more thing is if there are any spelling/grammar misstakes please tell me so i can fix them!
Thanks for reading, and good luck!

@NormenJaydenFBI @Color Realized this should be in the tutorial section.. Also, can i request this to be stickied? That is if you think the thread deserves it!
