I'm attempting to use Cheat Engine to modify the 'score' variable in a simple 2D Snake game I developed using Pygame. I've tried scanning for exact values, but Cheat Engine isn't effectively identifying or allowing modification of the score. My specific problem is: How can I reliably find and modify an integer variable (like a game score) within a Pygame application using Cheat Engine, considering how Python and Pygame manage memory? I'm looking for concrete steps or best practices for this particular scenario. For example: Are there specific data types or scan types within Cheat Engine that are more effective for Python integer variables? Are there common pitfalls when trying to pinpoint Python variables in memory that I should be aware of? Any guidance on the memory architecture or variable handling of Python/Pygame that impacts Cheat Engine's ability to find values would be extremely helpful. Continue reading...
