Can anyone tell me how to make a game trainer in C++? I want to know because I want to experiment on ways to make flash work with Steamworks and I want to code it myself.I am not one who wants to cheat because I hate cheaters.I plan to detect some values in the game and go through some code before making e.g. achievements achieved.
Anyone knows?Please reply!
Thanks in advance.
Unless the game is open source and/or you have the authors permission, this is typically illegal.
As the game maker, have your game look for a specific plug-in interface that is located in a specific directory, such as the application directory. Expose to that plug-in functions that allows for the plug-in to query game data, and run IO.
Make your "trainer" in the form of a plug in.
Since you're the games author, and thus can add the plug-in interface, this is the easiest path. Plug-in interfaces are kind of handy to have anyway.

Where can I start?
By creating hooks into your code via some class, and exposing that class via a header, and then writing the code that installs a shared object/DLL as a plug-in.
The code for doing this is highly platform dependant, so you'll need to read up on how your platform deals with it. In windows, google exporting/importing from a DLL.
