Video Game Hacking using Kotlin/Native

" summary

Claim: pure Kotlin/Native can read and write another process’s memory on Windows and even inject a DLL to call in-game functions. Tools used: Windows APIs like writeProcessMemory, GetWindowThreadProcessId and OpenProcess, plus a custom injector called injector4k (100% Kotlin) to work around missing calling conventions. Built examples: overwrote GTA San Andreas money at a known wiki address and injected a DLL that spawns a car; both methods compile and run, Windows only.
