I am trying to figure out how to extract some information from this game I
have!

But I have run into a few problems:

All this code prints is this line:
        print('something is wrong')

because readprocessmemory isn't working properly, and I have no idea why!
Please take a look, thanks!




>code starts here

import ctypes

# setup ctypes.
User32 = ctypes.WinDLL('User32', use_last_error=True)
Kernel32 = ctypes.WinDLL('kernel32', use_last_error=True)

PID = 5924 # or anything other number.

PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION = 0x0400
PROCESS_VM_READ = 0x0010

Process = Kernel32.OpenProcess(PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION|PROCESS_VM_READ,
False, PID)
ReadProcessMemory = Kernel32.ReadProcessMemory


# Did I set these up properly?
buffer = ctypes.create_string_buffer(4)
bufferSize = (ctypes.sizeof(buffer))


# I need a way to find out how big the process is!
for n in range(1000000000):
    if ReadProcessMemory(Process, n, buffer, bufferSize, None):
        print('buffer is: ',buffer)
    else:
        print('something is wrong')



print('Done.')
