Cheat Engine

[Twistedfate]

I want to make game bots with good GUI ... But I'm kinda lost .
I know basics of c++ and stl ..Basics of ASM and WinAPi And Cheatengine and RE but I'm still lost I feel like I can't handle anything.....
could I learn Data structure and algorithm and design patterns ?
How many books could I read ?
What are the steps could I follow to reach that lvl ?
tell me your story ?


all my study from internet I didn't go to Computer Science college

I haven't studied in a special school, I'm self-taught.

When I wanted to create some hack for any program but I had no knowledge on how to make it work, what I was doing was simply starting to create it, sooner or later the part will come where you will ask yourself "how do I do it?" and from there I found myself doing research on the internet, visiting forums (I have also signed up on some), reading articles, sometimes even seeing some video tutorials, certainly a person who attended any computer science school will be much more prepared than I am.

I also program in C++ and I realized that what I mostly missed was not the knowledge of the language, but the knowledge of how a computer worked in a general way.

I remember when I created my first Dll-injector, I had the knowledge of C++ necessary to do it, but I didn't know how exactly the Dlls were managed so I found myself doing research on the missing notions (At the end of the program I wrote it all in the main, and it took about 30 lines).

I participated in a small collaboration with another programmer to create a Bot (I dealt mostly with the back-end), unfortunately we did not succeed in our meaning because at that time neither of us knew the assembly enough and therefore it was difficult to interact with the bot with the program (Obviously there are also other ways to make it interact like using the OCR, for example, but using the assembly was the best method).

For about 3 years now I have been programming in C++ and rereading the code of some of my old projects I wonder "But why did I do it in such a bad way if it was enough to simply do so?" so I rewrote that part of the code better.
