My first experience with programming was making a "dump file" editor for my Diablo character in 8th grade with Visual Basic.
Someone had built a utility to dump the memory for your character to a file, where if you knew or could figure out the addresses, you could edit it and load it back into the game. I spent a lot of time changing a value in game, dumping the memory, and running a little diff tool I built to figure out where everything was. Then I built a little editor that could edit your character and item stats with a ui that looked like the game.
Such huge nostalgia for that game. StarCraft Remastered really brought back memories too. Blizzard is so, so good at game design.
