How to get data from games

Jan D

Hi,

I must create app (something like driver) that gets data from games (eg. Need for Speed) and detect when car breaks and how fast it drives Then it must send data to USB port.

I have no idea how to get this data... I searched in google, but every result was about creating game in C#...

There are computer mouses that detects player health in games like CS:GO and makes mouse lights to blue when health is full and red when is low, so this is possible to do this...

Pls, help me or tell me what i should to search in google :)

Accepted answer
Some of them such as fighting games log locally in client computer.
Reading log files which are mostly text files wouldn't be hard for you to start with.

But Im not sure if all games log it.

Hmm.Havent tried Driving Wheels but in my opinion you can access joystick or wheels using DirectInput.

hmm... there are driving wheels connected to usb that can be rotated or blocked by game... is there possible that i can get this signal to my app? and if game wouldn't give logs, can i read variables of this game (like cheat engine app) and is this easy to find var i'm interested in?
