Programming skills needed

Well, still the things being discussed here seem more advanced for an amateur like me. I am trying memory editing for now. Can't say it's going well but let's just keep trying. I have a small problem of converting Addresses to integers >_<

But it is possible with VB.net. Right?

There arent many things that arent possible, its more about which is the better approach :)

Well, thank you for your valuable opinions. I have madey choice to stick with VB.net but I'm just wondering where to start from. Like what would you suggest a beginner to do?

Make a trainer for a little game.( the game AssaultCube is pretty good to begin with)

Thank you ^_^
I'll try that as soon as I get done with my home work ~ >_>
But really thanks everyone for their valuable suggestions and opinions. I hope to prosper. Wish me luck~ :D

EDIT :
Thank you Davey! :D
Thanks a lot. I think I made it >_>
But it is just a dumb HP and ammo hack but I guess it's good for a start! : D
I'm very, very thankful to you! :D
Well, here it is! >_<

Reverse engineerin? try c language

@Naworia


What do you mean? with VB.NET aside of some pretty little things you can do everything he needs, even if it isnt the best approach.
Or did i missunderstand you ?

Just a question which concepts are more important while starting all this. For now, I'm trying to make small hacks for games like Plants vs Zombies >_>
Plus. As I'm a beginner can you tell me the other things I can use other than
WriteInteger and stuff?

C language seems difficult, the syntax as well ._.

This is memory editing?

Ahh okay thanks :) but this is only possible in "cheap" games isnt it?

It's possible only on client-sided games.

to be honest, i tried VisualBasic and i didn't understand anything.
I tried c# too and i fell in love with it.
Maybe it's just me, but understand the c# syntax easier than the vb syntax.

e.e you kidding right vb is much easier than c# + who on earth cant understand such a simple to learn programming language(dont thing you will be a pro at it in a short amount of time)... but c# you gotta do the ; ( ) { } ... no body got time putting those ****'s everywhere so annoying to look at.... i recommend visual basic waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better.

Nobody got the time to write braces but it's fine to write "Then"s and "End If"s?

Quote:

if (foo) { bar }

is much shorter (and therefore faster to write) than

Quote:

If foo Then bar End If
