I saw one post about that... Well, I used Matlab to hack gunbound. I can share the source, but I used C++ do read memory and decrypit wind, then I used the data players position to give the force necessary.
Not really used matlab to read or other hack stuff, but is iseful to do maths calc
Since gunbound is a turn game, it's really useful and worked very well. After a time, I turned entire hack to CPP, but i have good times with matlab xD
Hmm. Like you sad, for math matlab is so easy. But, that language can not use for cheating by itself. Also it is so slow. So, did you test your processing speed after matlab (you said you turned whole project into cpp.)
