The game 8 ball pool stored useful strings in special way, so I will show you what it looks like when the strings goes to DCD

You know, open string window, search some string keywords you are looking for and double click to go to rodata section

When you press X to XREF, it only shows DCD in data but it's actually useful

You are on data section. Now you can see the offset shown below the string function name. In this case numberOfSpins is 1D21E90. I drawed the lines, so you can easly see

You can double click on sub_xxxxx to see the entire code of the function.

That's all

Not all games have the same thing, DCD can be useless after all.
