How to extract live data from PC games


Let's assume that I'm playing a game on PC, most likely off-line. Is it possible for me to design a code that can interact with this game? For example, if I'm playing Fifa, can I implement a VB code, or any other language, that can print the score, or the name of the player who has the ball at a moment.

Is it possible? If so, how to do it, or at least in what field should I start looking for the answer (the write words for the search)?


Solution

  • Player names and live stats can be read from the memory that the games uses on your system.

    If you look into searching in memory for a player name or another ingame value you might be able to identify the addressing the game uses.

    A lot of game trainers / hacks n such read / write to the memory space the game uses.
