Ahh yes, this is the first step to being able to write Game hacks. Without learning to actually program, you will never become capable of writing your own hacks. Now C++ is possibly a hard programming language if it's your first. But I learned it as my first, all it took was trial and error and persistence! C++ is a high level programming language capable of low memory manipulation, which is why it is AWESOME when it comes to game hacking. I recommend having a strong grasp on the basics, as it will only benefit you, and make the learning process so much easier. When learning the basics of C++, you probably won't make anything super interesting outside of a console. But that's okay you have to be able to code the simple things, before you can move on to more badass projects. Your operating system is just a big GUI for your command line! So don't be discouraged if you feel as if you're only programming a black box, that black box(console) has power! I recommend having a strong grasp on functions, control statements, pointers, classes.

Alright this is where the fun begins. The Windows Api has a bunch of useful features necessary for game hacking. Some of these features include functions that are useful to manipulate the address space of another process. These functions exist for debuggers. When you ask the debugger to inspect the memory of the process being debugged, it uses ReadProcessMemory to do it. When you ask the debugger to update the value of a variable in your process, it uses WriteProcessMemory to do it. I recommend learning how to make a basic window program. (understand how events and messages work) Learn processes and threads Debugging Functions Toolhelp Functions Hook functions Memory Management Functions DLL - You can find all these at MSDN

Learn D3D This relies on knowledge of the WinApi. D3D is graphics. Games that run on Direct3d you will be able to manipulate the graphics of the client with knowledge of it. For example Chams, wallhack.

Memory scanners are useful for finding addresses, At those addresses are useful values ex: health,ammo, etc. Learn to find static addresses with Cheat Engine or you'll have to update your source every time you run the game. Memory scanning skills are easy to obtain, if you gotten to this point. You can probably make simple game hacks for simple games like (pinball,minesweeper) or any game that's open source without an anti cheat. Assault Cube is a great game to hack for beginners.

Alright basically at this point you can create simple hacks. You can use your memory scanning skills to look for addresses. You can use these addresses alongside your knowledge of C++, WinApi(Process functions, debugging functions. Just start up a console project, at this point you should know how basic WriteProcessMemory works. - Once you find the address you can use wpm to write to that value

Okay so basically we get to dll injection, basically you're just injecting your code directly into the process, by doing so you have easier access within. You don't have to rpm or wpm. You should have learned about CreateRemoteThread and VirtualAllocEx. Hooking And DLL Injection
