CESDK - Cheat Engine SDK for C#

⚠️ Work in Progress ⚠️

A C# wrapper library for developing plugins for Cheat Engine. Provides managed .NET interfaces for memory scanning, process manipulation, and reverse engineering tasks.

Status

This project is currently WIP. Things might be missing.

Build

dotnet build

Testing

Tests live under tests/ and are not referenced by CESDK.csproj, so they do not get packed into the CESDK NuGet package.

Build the SDK and test projects:

dotnet build CESDK.sln
dotnet test tests/CESDK.LiveTests/CESDK.LiveTests.csproj -p:Platform=x64 --filter "TestCategory!=Live"

The live CESDK tests run through a dedicated Cheat Engine plugin:

1. Build tests/CESDK.LiveTestPlugin/CESDK.LiveTestPlugin.csproj.
2. Copy tests/CESDK.LiveTestPlugin/bin/x64/Debug/net10.0-windows/cesdk-live-tests.dll into Cheat Engine's plugins directory.
3. Restart Cheat Engine and enable CESDK Live Tests.
4. Run the test harness:

$env:CESDK_LIVE = "1"
dotnet test tests/CESDK.LiveTests/CESDK.LiveTests.csproj -p:Platform=x64 --filter TestCategory=Live

By default the plugin writes %TEMP%\cesdk-live-tests-result.json. Set CESDK_LIVE_RESULT before launching Cheat Engine and before running dotnet test to use a custom result path.
