Im looking at the tutorial, but it doesnt explain what pointers do exactly.

Right now im trying to make a cheat table for a game. So far if i find the address used for money in this game, i can then use offsets to find addresses for some other values. The problem is that everytime i restart the program, the address used for money changes, and updating all my addresses to use the new address is a huge hassle (it seems that theres a function to update offset en-masse, but not update address enmasse but leave the offsets the same).

Am i supposed to use pointers for this? What im trying to do is make a cheat table that will look up the address used for money, then automatically use that address with the correct offsets for other values. Instead of manually finding the money address and entering it 1 by 1 for every offset.

That's exactly what pointers do. Since the addresses of most games change when restarting that game, you need a pointer that always points to the current money address. So even after a restart the pointer still points to the correct address.
