## What it is
A curated list of tools, tutorials, books, and presentations for reverse engineering and hacking video games. It aggregates resources like Cheat Engine, disassemblers, debuggers, and memory scanners rather than being a tool itself.

## Use cases
- learn game hacking and reverse engineering
- find tools for scanning and editing game memory
- discover tutorials on disassembling video games
- build game cheats and trainers
- explore reverse engineering resources for beginners

## When to choose
- you want a curated starting point for learning game reverse engineering
- you need to discover tools like Cheat Engine, debuggers, and hex editors
- you prefer learning from tutorials, books, and presentations

## When to avoid
- you need a ready-to-use hacking tool rather than a resource list
- you want to hack online multiplayer games (see the companion online game hacking repo)
- you need maintained software with support

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: reverse-engineering, security, developer-tools
- domain: gaming-tools, reverse-engineering, security, tutorials
- platform: cross-platform, windows
- tags: awesome-list, game-hacking, cheat-engine, curated-list, memory-scanning, disassembly, linux, macos
