# pokemem

A (Linux-only) tool for locating and modifying values in memory.

## Installation

You can get a .deb file from https://github.com/pommicket/pokemem/releases

## How to use

Disclaimer: This might not always work! If it doesn't, you might have gotten the wrong
data type, or it could be stored in a special way, or it could have
moved around in memory during the search. It's possible that there's nothing
you can do (with this tool at least) to pin down the location of the value.

1. Find the PID of the process you're interested in with a task manager,
or `pidof <process_name>`. This should be some number, like 18035.
2. Select a data type. If you're not sure what data type to pick:
For websites, it's usually (but not always)
64-bit floating-point that you want, and for non-web applications,
it's probably 32-bit signed integer.
3. Make sure that the value is in memory (i.e. have whatever
tab you need open, etc.).
4. Click "Begin search"
5. Enter the current value, and click update/press enter. Repeat until the number of
candidates isn't going down any further (it should be probably between 1 and 20).
6. (Optional) Turn on auto-refresh, change stuff around,
and watch to see if you've got the right value.
7. Either double click on a value to change it, or use the box
at the bottom to change all candidates at once.
8. If you want to do another search, click "Stop", then "Begin search" again.

## Compiling from source

Run `make` for a debug build, and `make release` for a release build,
