Alright, so, there is this game, and I want to add in a type of "EXP" system to it; unfortunetely I have no idea how to save it permanently, so when the player exits the game the EXP gets reset.

I've tried to tackle this problem in different ways, I tried to find a way to "save" my own value, that didn't work...

then I tried to find some unused value and use it as my own; I kinda found one, though it isn't saved.

Maybe there's some calculations I can do? Cause in this game there is a "Max HP" and I can use that to represent the power level, however the problem with that is that if I fiddle around with it, I'll have to fiddle around with all the instructions that write to it, otherwise it'll mess things up (e.g. get 100 extra max hp upon taking a perk point that supposed to give you 5). Is there some sort of way to do this?

If you are writing your own modification to the game, just save the value yourself to specific location. Such as the system registry or to a file specific to the games relative path, or the current users personal file path.

Just in case, here are 2 examples of hacks that make the game write to a file.
the urw_SkillLogger: http://forum.cheatengine.org/viewtopic.php?p=5433611
the log FNV1 hashes here: http://forum.cheatengine.org/viewtopic.php?p=5509059

As for the reading you'll have to use ReadFile and sscanf (to convert from text to number).

(Note: do not count on me for spoon-feeding)
