Cheat Engine

I've seen various CE hacks like flying in a game, but I really don't know how do you get those hacks. All I know to do is to hack a bar or a number count. How is this carried out?

Basically, the code that the program uses is changed. Unlike a number hack, where you just make sure a number stays the same, you change code that do stuff you don't want the application to do.

There would be multiple ways to do a flying hack such as:

• A number hack where you just change the Y coordinate and make it fixed. Basically, you find how high you are by checking for changed values in Cheat Engine (Start with Unknown Initial Value, then walk up a hill, check for increased values, walk further up the hill, check for increased values again, stand still, check for unchanged values, go down the hill, check for decreased values). You can then check what alters it and go deeper into it, but you can also just change the value to 999 and freeze it there. You are now flying at that altitude.
  
• You could unset the check whether you are on the ground or not. Or unset gravity force
  
• If it's 2D, you can check the mouse coordinate value, and set your position to the mouse coordinate value.

There are probably other ways, but these should give you an idea.

Ahh, I never thought of it that way. I'll try that thanks.
