difference

"To add to the confusion, the noun "hack" also has two senses. It can be either a compliment or an insult. It's called a hack when you do something in an ugly way. But when you do something so clever that you somehow beat the system, that's also called a hack. The word is used more often in the former than the latter sense, probably because ugly solutions are more common than brilliant ones."

"Doping a horse is a clear example of cheating by interfering with the instruments of the event under wager."

Cheats are made by the game owner/publisher. They are made for fun, and pre-coded ingame.
Hacks are people/customer made to get an advantage over other players.

Idk, thats how i see it

For me hack and cheat are the same thing

For me, at least, a cheat is anything that gives you an unfair advantage over others, usually against some set of rules. A hack changes something to work in a way it was not originally intended to. Most things posted here fall under both categories.

In FPS, they are the same .

hacking is getting unauthorized access to an account, cheating is well cheating
