Cheat Engine (CE) is a proprietary, source available freeware memory scanner/debugger created by Eric Heijnen ("Byte, Darke") for the Windows operating system in 2008 Cheat Engine is mostly used for cheating in computer games and is sometimes modified and recompiled to support new games. It searches for values input by the user with a wide variety of options that allow the user to find and sort through the computer's memory. Cheat Engine can also create standalone trainers that can operate independently of Cheat Engine, often found on user forums or at the request of another user.
