Thug is a multiplayer bot written for the PS2 game Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal. Currently written to connect to the Robo UYA custom server, however it will eventually support the Horizon Private Server (UYA only). This bot will only work for UYA because the structures that it uses are game specific.
The name Thug comes from the UYA multiplayer skin.
Thug connects to a Medius server and simulates what a normal PS2 would send over the network. Thug is written in Python and uses the asyncio standard library for network connections.
Thug builds a network graph based on a set of moveable points, then uses the A* algorithm to pathfind to other players/objects.
