As a special programs speed up the process of games?

Question

Game development

Hello
How can programs like Cheat Engien speed up games?
In essence, the "core" of the game is an endless loop
. How can it be accelerated or slowed down?

Answer 1

It's not entirely clear what problem you're solving. That is, why did such a question suddenly arise. Have you read somewhere that this utility speeds up the game? Or what?
If we are talking about the accelerated passage of the game, then everything is simple. Cheat Engine and similar utilities allow you to change the values ​​of variables in the game's memory. For example, in the game, the player character has money, and this figure is stored somewhere in memory. We change it to the one we want, for example 1000000000 - and voila, we have a billion bucks in the game. Then we can stupidly buy everything, i.e. basically anything that is for sale. And we easily reach the goal of the game. Similarly, you can hack a character's health, making him immortal and much more.
Otherwise, it is necessary to clarify what is meant by acceleration. That is, in what contextYou read that the Cheat Engine allows you to "speed up" the game.

Answer 2

You can replace the system time with its "accelerated" counterpart. You can replace the internal counters (if the game is on a popular engine, for example).

Answer 3

Reduce the delay between data processing cycles (not to be confused with FPS!)
Or even like this: turn back the clock !
