I want to make a basic external application to read and write memory.

/watch?v=zFUHrg-wdmo

put youtube (.) com before that link to watch this basic code for an external hack.

I installed Visual Studio 2019 and tried to run basic code similar to that shown in the above video ^
I have done basic cpp coding in classes, and I have a huge amount of python experience. I know how to code, but when I try to get into game reversing and cheat coding, I don't understand what SDK i need.

The code breaks down as soon as I try to compile

Code:
#include <Windows.h>


I assume I need to configure my SDK settings or install one, but I don't know how or what to do.

Thank you guys so much for your help, if you decide to help a poor scrub like me out. I have a lot of ardor towards game hacking and I'm venturing into making cheats for games like Brawlhalla and other various steam games. I will give back to the community! Smile

Again, thank you very much

Also, I know that <Windows.h> may not be the right syntax, maybe "windows.h" or something similar is actually correct, but the point is that the problem is certainly with the fact that my installation isnt complete.

Edit:
For example, if I wanted to make an internal hack this error would rise.

Sorry for posting broken links, I'm not eligible to post links yet

Thank you for your help, I think I'm almost over this mountain

The last error you are getting about BOOL is due to not including Windows.h or it is missing.

In the Visual Studio installer, make sure you have chosen to install the proper SDKs and such for C++ development. The main thing you need is the 'Desktop Development with C++' option checked. In terms of individual parts/pieces, with the above checked, make sure that at least one of the Windows 10 SDKs are selected like this:



With that you should have everything needed to build general 32/64bit C/C++ apps. You can pick other parts as needed based on your requirements later on, but for what you are asking, this should be all you need.
