cheat engine

Game memory editor

Cheat Engine is software that modifies video games by scanning and altering values in a computer's memory—health points, currency, ammunition.

Players use it to make games easier or experiment outside intended boundaries: I used Cheat Engine to give myself unlimited gold.

The term sometimes extends to similar memory-editing tools.

Game developers and online services typically prohibit its use.
