Well, I chose to start learning Delphi instead of C/C++ (which my friend is going to try) , and I would like to know If Delphi is a good programming language to stop my leeching career and start actually making a few bots and even some trainers (hopefully).

P.S. I know I won't be coding trainers anytime soon, and that I'll need loads of reading and learning before I can, so don't flame me about anything. Confused

Personally I love Delphi but then again I try to learn as many as I can so my knowledge just grows and grows my suggestion to you is not to just learn delphi but also learn others as well in fact learn all that you can learn put your brain to the test

You're both going to end up at the same place either way, the Win32 API.

yeh, slovach is about right, it think delphi is alright, but for hacking and asm, i think C++ is better

there's no such thing best hacking lang, every lang has it's own advantages and disadvantages

I wouldn't be missing out on anything would I by learning Delphi first?

I've got a decent hold on Delphi now, made a couple practice programs(simple though, and nothing to do with gamehacking), and the only reason I didn't learn C/C++ first is because I couldn't find a decent tutorial and the best one I found didn't explain the terms to me.

ASM would be the BEST hacking language.

All I want to do is make hacks for Maplestory, and maybe a couple other games. Would using delphi instead of C/C++ handicap me.

If so, why?/how come?

ASM stands for assembly. It is pretty much machine language, but in human-readable form. So basically: anything your computer hardware is capable of, ASM will be able to pull it off.

ASM is somewhat faster than the C family & Delphi (probably about two times faster at guess, but most code can be pulled off without noticeable differences).
Delphi is a powerful language. Once again though, assembly is the code of your machine.

Anyway, delphi wouldn't handicap you in programming MapleStory hacks because as slovach said: you'll end up using Win32 API.

My advice, either stick with what you know and improve it - or start all over and learn assembly (a lot of hacking involves assembly anyway) then work your way down to the less-flexible languages.

Just my opinion though, it really doesn't matter what you code in - generally it's personal preference.

By the way, Rot1 - I don't mean to insult your knowledge or anything, but what you are referring may be more towards cracking. Hacking is when you are making a modification to something that would not otherwise be possible (of course, these days 99% of the time it is something illegal lol). So you are somewhat right. But I guarantee you, quite a few people here would have experience with things that would be considered illegal in many states.
I'm going through a court case for something related to the pre-mentioned topic, I was charged with 'Theft Under $1000' - no sentencing has been made at the moment, currently remanded until early next month. Will probably only get PD and diversion since it's my 'first offense' lol.
