# Overview

This environment provides a lightweight scripting layer for UI, rendering, memory analysis and interaction in Perception.cx. It uses **Lua** with core add-ons and PCX-specific APIs enabled by default.

This API is strictly allowed to be used for malware analysis and educational purposes only, any violation of our [TOS](https://perception.cx/help/terms/) will result in termination from the platform.

### Core Add-ons

The following standard AngelScript modules are registered:

* **base** — core Lua functions
* **package** — `require()` and module loading
* **coroutine** — coroutine creation & scheduling
* **table** — table helpers (`insert`, `remove`, `sort`, ...)
* **string** — pattern matching & string utilities
* **math** — numeric functions
* **utf8** — UTF-8 text helpers

***

### PCX APIs

Custom host APIs extend the scripting environment:

* **Render API** — draw shapes, text, images, and gradients
* **Input API** — mouse, keyboard, and scroll input
* **Host Utilities** — logging and script lifecycle helpers
* **Proc API** — memory inspection and manipulation
* **GUI API** — create and interact with UI elements
* **System API** — CPU info, instruction utilities, disassembly
* **Net API** — HTTP, HTTPS, and WebSocket networking
* **File System API** — read, write, and manage files/folders
* **Extended Math API** — vectors, matrices, quaternions, and math helpers
* **Engine Specific API**  — read engine specific structures easier
* **Json API**
* **Utilities** — encoding, decoding, etc
* **Sound API**
