In addition to the basic units, several derived units are also used. For each unit, the Table of Units lists the symbol, a description and the SI name.

Throughout the document, symbols in bold will represent vectors, and scalars otherwise. The symbols are listed in alphabetical order. For vector quantities, the units shown are for each component of the vector.

Typical Uncertainty Table 3: Abbreviations and Acronyms 2 Introduction Due to the rising cost of developing video games, developers are looking for ways to save time and money for their projects. Using an open source physics library that is reliable and free will cut down development costs and lead to better quality products. The following section provides an overview of the Software Requirements Specification (SRS) for Game Physics. This section explains the purpose of this document, the scope of the requirements, the characteristics of the intended reader, and the organization of the document. 2.1 Purpose of Document The primary purpose of this document is to record the requirements of the game physics library. Goals, assumptions, theoretical models, definitions, and other model derivation information are specified, allowing the reader to fully understand and verify the purpose and scientific basis of Game Physics. With the exception of system constraints, this SRS will remain abstract, describing what problem is being solved, but not how to solve it. This document will be used as a starting point for subsequent development phases, in- cluding writing the design specification and the software verification and validation plan. The design document will show how the requirements are to be realized, including decisions on the numerical algorithms and programming environment. The verification and validation plan will show the steps that will be used to increase confidence in the software documen- tation and the implementation. Although the SRS fits in a series of documents that follow the so-called waterfall model, the actual development process is not constrained in any way. 6 Even when the waterfall model is not followed, as Parnas and Clements point out [8], the most logical way to present the documentation is still to “fake” a rational design process. 2.2 Scope of Requirements The scope of the requirements includes the physical simulation of 2D rigid bodies acted on by forces. 2.3 Characteristics of Intended Reader Reviewers of this documentation should have an understanding of rigid body dynamics and high school calculus. The users of Game Physics can have a lower level of expertise, as explained in Sec:User Characteristics. 2.4 Organization of Document The organization of this document follows the template for an SRS for scientific computing software proposed by [6] and [10]. The presentation follows the standard pattern of presenting goals, theories, definitions, and assumptions. For readers that would like a more bottom up approach, they can start reading the instance models and trace back to find any additional information they require. The goal statements are refined to the theoretical models and the theoretical models to the instance models. 3 General System Description This section provides general information about the system. It identifies the interfaces between the system and its environment, describes the user characteristics, and lists the system constraints. 3.1 System Context Fig:sysCtxDiag shows the system context. A circle represents an entity external to the software, the user in this case. A rectangle represents the software system itself (Game Physics). Arrows are used to show the data flow between the system and its environment. The interaction between the product and the user is through an application programming interface. The responsibilities of the user and the system are as follows: • User Responsibilities – Provide initial conditions of the physical state of the simulation, rigid bodies present, and forces applied to them. – Ensure application programming interface use complies with the user guide. 7 Figure 1: System Context – Ensure required software assumptions are appropriate for any particular problem the software addresses. • Game Physics Responsibilities – Determine if the inputs and simulation state satisfy the required physical and system constraints. – Calculate the new state of all rigid bodies within the simulation at each simulation step. – Provide updated physical state of all rigid bodies at the end of a simulation step. 3.2 User Characteristics The end user of Game Physics should have an understanding of first year programming concepts and an understanding of high school physics. 3.3 System Constraints There are no system constraints. 4 Specific System Description This section first presents the problem description, which gives a high-level view ofthe problem to be solved.
