What language is the best/most common ?

[kevin3211]

Hey guys, so im about to learn how to write hacks for games. already learned AHK. so now i dont now which is the best or most common language for writting game Hacks? i heared a lot of C++ and C# but i dont know which one i should take

[MikeRohsoft]

depends on what u wanna do

[r00flr00fl]

same question, I have learned C at the university and now I am faced with the decision to delve into C++ or C#

depends on what u wanna do

mostly I'd like to develop hacks for multiplayer games

from what I've read so far C++ seems to have less boundaries and should therefore be the preferred choice I guess?

i have used quite a few languages but so far the best in my opinion is python just because of the endless options. there is always a library that can do exact what you need

[poor2rich]

python, java, javascript. Pick

I have practiced C/C++/C#, Java, JavaScript, Python, and done a little bit with web languages (HTML/CSS/PHP etc.).

I have built and maintained a few "chat-room" bots using C#, Python, and Javascript.

In terms of game hacking, I have primarily gravitated towards python for MOST projects.

With Python:

• Surface level image processing (screenshots)
• Macros
• Low-level memory manipulation with ctypes library

IMO python is probably the worst (out of C languages, Java, and Python) to do real quality hacks.

Mainly I built bots for games with python, i.e. monitor the game by taking screenshots on an interval, and then processing the image, pulling data from it, then running some macros based on the data extracted from it.

This is because actually reading the raw data from memory of the game and having it in a format you can actually execute logical calls on is very... well, difficult.
Not only that, you have to "hijack" C (which python is built on top of) in order to do this by, again, using the ctypes module, so why not just use C in the first place?

Now, you may be wondering "if python is so bad, why use it?", well, it's fast, really really easy, and it's so f*cking light-weight. All you need is NP++ and windows explorer open side by side and boom, you have a fully interactive, high-speed python IDE.
C/C++/C# all require very heavy IDE's, in comparison, and take awhile inbetween compiling a new version of your program.

TL;DR im lazy, so i use python.

Python is very intuitive, its fun to write the code cauz u got a lot of packages you can get from pip and the code looks very clean

[Warside]

I recommend starting with c++

[JuneDuff]

I hope, the computer one and smiles.

[Burrumballa]

C++ is the best choice for starting, it's one of the most common for sure

[Fazz_cris]

C++ , JAVA , PHYTON they are the best

that's true, you can install anaconda and have many scientific, graphic etc. libraries and there are countless others ...

although if you would like to develop end user programs, you should usually go away from python due to its slowness

[nanomike]

C++ is quite portable. The new big language for developing in Windows is C++, designed to operate well with Windows.

[ChetoPUBG]

Yeah C++ is probably the way to go here.

I would love to indulge in coding can someone help
