Vanilla Game
With Control Wasted/Busted Screen

This project started as a personal challenge to learn GTA San Andreas modding.

While developing it, I learned more about:

• C++
  
• Reverse engineering
  
• Game memory patching
  
• Plugin-SDK
  
• ASI plugin development
  
• The internal workings of GTA San Andreas

It became my first completed GTA mod in C, and I decided to release it so other players could benefit from it as well.
Possible future additions:

• INI configuration file
  
• Independent Wasted/Busted toggles
  
• Optional fade effects
  
• Additional quality-of-life patches
