well, title is some kind of self-explaining. If im opening my own writen programs in cheat engine, i can simply "Go to Adress" "main", like i can do with almost every WinApi Function. However, in other programs, i can neither go to "main", nor to "WinMain" or "WndProc". As for this: is there any easy way to find the address of the main function?

Depends on the complexity of the game and compiler used.

When you open a game with ce the disassembler's address gets set to the entry point. You can follow the calls to find the "main" function
