Trainers alllow you to.....well cheat! They make the game easier for example give you more money or allowing you to go into god mode so you cannot be killed.

Well put. Basically a trainer (in simple terms) modifies some value at some adress to give some cheat.
So say I'm playing Quake 4 and I'm playing it on the hardest settings, I would be totally f***ked it if wasn't for my trianer. It would give me inf. health, inf. ammo, etc.

It's all very simple (to me that is ). A game loads information into memory, and when you make a trainer I would scan the memory for say the amount of ammo that I had. That would give me an adress (adress is memory hold values). I would then be able to modify or freeze the adress to my likeing.

P.S. I don't suck that much at Quake 4 that I would need a trainer to play on the hardest setttings, it just makes my life easier.

Yea, it is pretty hard. I had some troubles on normal but as you keep playing, you tend to get better and better. Belive me, i use more then a few quickloads on the hardest settings, i'm only about half-way through, and this is the 3rd time i'm trying to beat the game.
