Basics.

Hi, Invis guided me here to help me better understand what hacking systems are used for, and how to hack efficiently. Can anyone help?

I'm not sure I know what you mean by but there is plenty of material in the stickies section. There was also a post, named [C/C++ Tutorial] A Book for Beginners!, by Hitokiri that gave the link to a pretty good looking book for c++. I would post a link but unfortunately I can't with my current post count.

Unless you already know how to program, which you probably do if you're talking about , because that usually comes after making crude hacks. Anyways, I would recommend utilizing vectors in cases where arrays aren't essential. Also check out Boost; it comes with some great containers and iterators that really help with efficiency and code cleanliness.

edit: Crap this was an old post, sorry for the bump.
