Cheat Engine

I'm looking through memoryscan.c and not really understanding how it's getting the list of memory region addresses. Could someone point me in the right direction (source or external documentation is fine) to how cheat engine is able to determine all memory regions of a process?

Backstory:
I'm working against a game to find the value of heath, among other things. I'm unable to locate the static pointer, but I have been able to find a byte signature that will allow me to get a pointer to the address i need. I'm trying to automate this, so I've prototyped a simple injected memory scanner in python, which works fine. The problem is (and here's where my ignorance shows) the memory address isn't within the bounds of any of the modules listed in the snapshot made via CreateToolHelp32Snapshot which is what I'm using to get my start and end addresses for the scan.

I wasn't sure whether to post this here somewhere in development. I'm sure you'll move it if it's in the wrong spot, sorry! Smile

check memscan.pas instead

anyhow, it uses virtualqueryex to find the regions to scan
