ProtectedVariables is designed to help prevent cheating using Cheat Engine and other common memory manipulation tools. This package was designed to be simple and fast to use so I could quickly get back to developing my game.

■■■ What is Memory Manipulation?: ■■■
Memory Manipulation is when you use a program to alter the memory that's currently in RAM. When you want to cheat in a game, it's possible to alter your characters stat values for things like health and ammo, and to freeze those values at high numbers so that they don't change and you're invincible.
■■■■■ Features include: ■■■■■
•Protecting fields and properties from Memory Manipulation
•Protecting saved data in PlayerPrefs from being manipulated
•Detecting when speed hacks are in use
■■ Protected Fields+Properties: ■■
Simply replace any instance of a basic field with a Protected one and it will be protected. See the class Protecter.cs for settings around how things are protected (by default a Random key is generated each time a field is set, but it can be set to use a static key.)
■■ ProtectedPrefs: ■■
A one-to-one replacement for PlayerPrefs. Includes extended features for all basic types, some unity types like Vector3, Quaternion, and more, as well as being able to save ANY serializable object.
■■ ProtectedSpeedHackDetector: ■■
A simple speed hack detector that fires a callback method when it detects something. You can set tolerances to help prevent false positives on the monobehaviour itself.

■■■ Is this a Perfect Cheating Solution? ■■■
There is no such thing as a perfect solution and I do not guarantee anything in regards to protection. Hacking is a constant battle that in the end requires constant solutions. I do believe however that when this package is applied properly that it will disable and discourage a large number of low level cheaters from doing so as I've demonstrated in my videos.
