Definitions:
- Opcode
- Bytes that are machine operational bytes and is executable.
- Code
- Any thing that is, or can be converted to, opcode and is executable.
- Script
- Text that is more human readable. To be converted to opcode and executed.
- Injection
- Replacing bytes in a processes memory, this term is most often used when referring to redirecting running opcode.
- Assembly, ASM
- Any programming language (low level language) that is processor specific. To be converted to opcode and executed.
- Assembler
- Any program or tool that converts assembly to opcode.
- Compiler
- Any program or tool that converts script/code to opcode, and saves it as an executable file.
- Interpreter
- Any program or tool that converts script/code to opcode, and executes the opcode.
- Auto Assembler
- A super sweet interpreter and assembler, that Dark Byte made.
- Lua
- A super sweet programming language, with lots of extra stuff that Dark Byte added. (Note: The language is not written by Dark Byte)
Scripting in general is creating/using a small piece of code to perform a required tasks. Scripts are usually interpreted not compiled.
In Cheat Engine, with the use of Auto Assemble you can write 10s to 100s or even a 1000s lines of instructions using either Assembly or Lua to be injected in a process memory to do some modifications. Auto Assemble is the IDE where you write your code and there is nearly no limitations, you have the choice to either mix your code using both Assembly and Lua or to use one of them.
