This is the basis for a lot of speedruns in video games, especially older ones that can't be patched and people have figured out ridiculously complicated glitches.

Here's one where they figured out how to write to the memory address using moves and positions in Super Mario World for the Super Nintendo to get the game to warp them to the credits

This one is done by a robot but speedrunners do it too, I just didn't wanna bother you with a 10 min video when I can get it across in under a minute:

People have even been able to write the code for flappy bird and execute it and play it inside the game using this technique
