Hi all,

I'm working on a tool for a game and I'm interested in the "speedhack" functionality of cheat engine, but im not really sure how cheat engine does it. The speedhack increases the speed at which certain timers increase in the game i'm modding and I want to use it for that. How does cheat engine get it to do that? I'm writing the application in C# and I want to do the same thing using visual studio. If anyone could let me know how I can do so, that'd be awesome Smile

how does that folder relate to the speedhack2.pas file in the cheat engine folder? are they related? im kind of a novice coder and im having a little difficulty reading a language i've never seen before. I see that it injects the speedhack dll,and its calculating the time of day to use as a base of reference when it speeds things up. i'm not sure what else is of importance if i want to use this in c#, can you like give me a rough summary of how the code works/ is linked together

speedhack2.pas is used as an IPC for the speed hack module.

It's used to load it, tell it what speed to set when you change the settings on the UI of CE etc. It uses the auto-assembler to create threads to invoke the speedhacks exports to set the speed like:
https://github.com/cheat-engine/cheat-engine/blob/master/Cheat%20Engine/speedhack2.pas#L290

Below this function you'll see the auto-assembler script that its building to execute as an example. It's calling the speedhacks set speed export etc.
