int intValue = game.ReadValue<int>(address);

// "address" is an IntPtr to a string, "64" is the maximum amount of bytes to read
string strValue = game.ReadString(address, 64);

// "address" is an IntPtr to another address (for example a class)
IntPtr ptrValue = game.ReadPointer(address);

install Visual Studio; important: select .NET Framework 4.6.1 to be installed additionally to everything else!
create a new project and select "Class Library (.NET Framework)", make sure to select .NET Framework 4.6.1 as the version
from your Solution Explorer (on the right by default), right-click "References", select "Add Reference...", click "Browse..." at the bottom and navigate to your LiveSplit folder, where you need to add LiveSplit.Core.dll and UpdateManager.dll
add a new class to your project which implements the IComponent interface or extends one of its implementing classes
add a new class to your project that implements IComponentFactory
implement the Create() method of this interface, such that it returns and instance of the component class you created
add a ComponentFactory attribute to the AssemblyInfo.cs file and give it the type of your factory class:

[assembly: ComponentFactory(typeof(MyComponentFactory))]

NOTE:

Sometimes, when opening TraceSpy, it gets displaced (to -25600, -25600). When this happens, the window will be completely gone. To fix, you unfortunately need to replace your WpfSettings.config with the one below again (instructions in 4th/5th bullet point below).

Setting up TraceSpy

download from https://github.com/smourier/TraceSpy/releases/latest
move the .exe to any place on your PC
start the program and immediately close it
- this will create the config in ~\AppData\Roaming\TraceSpy
- to find this folder, simply type %appdata% into your Windows search and hit enter
download WpfSettings.config below by clicking the Raw button in the top-right of it and then pressing Ctrl + S or right-click → Save as

Resources to learn making very simple Auto Splitters

Preamble: this should not be attempted with online games or games which have an anti cheat in place, it could result in permanent bans.

Learn how to use Cheat Engine

The Cheat Engine section in the #tutorials channel in the Speedrun Tool Development Discord server has a few tutorials and guides. It is recommended to also do the Cheat Engine tutorial when the software is first launched. The Cheat Engine wiki and forums also have more resources. Cheat Engine is usually used to find health or money addresses to edit their values. Those addresses will be the information your auto splitter will depend on for everything it does. Should the goal be to split upon level changes, searching for an index (often int (4 Bytes)) or a name (string) can yield good results. For lo
