Title Body

I was wondering if it was possible to access a direct block of memory using C/C++ and grab the value. For example: int i = 15; int *p = &i; cout << &i; If I took the printed value here, that would give me the address of the variable i, which contains the value 15. I will just say it printed out 0x0ff9c1 for this example. If I have a separate program which declares a pointer like so... int *p = 0x0ff9c1; cout << *p; Would it be possible to print out that 15 that the other application placed in the memory block 0x0ff9c1? I know my pointer declaration with the memory address is incorrect, I am unsure how to do it otherwise. I have tried using memcopy but I have not been able to get that to work either. I know this is possible somehow as I have a program called Cheat Engine which modifies game memory address values to gain unfair advantages. I have been successful in placing the printed memory location and obtaining the value (15) though Cheat Engine. My goal is to do this using C++. If this is too confusing, basically I would like to access a variable that another application stored using its memory address and print out the value. I am using Windows 7 x64 with MinGW compiler if that matters. Thanks! PS: I'll post a picture of what Cheat Engine does to give a better idea.
