Question

Can someone please clarify the difference between making hacks in C++ and making them with a cheat engine or if its the same thing. As im learning it seems making hacks in a cheat engine is easier? Will someone help me out.

Not gunman.

With cheat engine you can find the adresses you want to modify.
You can write a simple piece of code for CE, which will modify the memory, but if you want to make a stand-alone trainer, you'll need to know C++, or any other language which it can be done with, and suits you.
