Cheatron is currently an experimental, early-stage project. Expect breaking changes, incomplete features, and potential bugs. It is not intended for production use.
- Memory Viewer — Hex + ASCII dual-pane with real-time inspection
- Process Handling — Internal process inspection (External attachment coming soon)
- Disassembler — Capstone-based instruction decoding (Coming Soon)
- Advanced Scripting — Automate operations using TypeScript/Bun via CLI (Coming Soon)
- Native C++ Addon — High-performance N-API bridge (LLVM/Clang)
- Cross-Platform Dev — Mock layer enables UI development on Linux/macOS
- CLI Tool — Terminal interface for memory operations
- Modern UI — Dark glassmorphism, Tailwind CSS v4, smooth animations
Cheatron isn't just a clone; it's an evolution. While Cheat Engine set the standard, Cheatron brings game hacking into the modern era.
| Feature | Cheatron | Legacy Tools |
|---|---|---|
| Scripting | TypeScript / JavaScript (Modern, typed, massive ecosystem) | Lua (Limited ecosystem) |
| Extensions | React + Node.js (Limitless UI/Logic possibilities) | Proprietary / Pascal forms |
| UI/UX | Modern, Dark Mode, Responsive, Animations | Dated Win32 layouts |
| Tech Stack | Electron, Vite, LLVM/Clang | Delphi / Lazarus |
| Community | Open to the massive Web & JS community | Niche Pascal developers |
Key Advantages:
- Script with Power: Leverage the full power of Node.js and npm packages in your cheat scripts.
- Modern Dev Experience: contribute using the tools you already know (VS Code, React, TypeScript).
- Future Proof: Built on actively maintained, industry-standard technologies.
| Layer | Technologies |
|---|---|
| Frontend | React 19, Tailwind CSS v4, Radix UI |
