# Unity deterministic physics

This is a modified version of [Unity DOTS Physics version 0.6.0-preview.3](https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/[email protected]/manual/index.html), which supports cross-platform deterministic physics simulation by using [soft floats](https://github.com/Kimbatt/soft-float-starter-pack).

## Usage

The following packages must be installed:

- Burst

- Collections

- Entities

- Jobs

You'll need to use the `UnityS.Physics` and the `UnityS.Mathematics` namespaces instead of the usual `Unity.Physics` and `Unity.Mathematics`.

See [Unity Physics manual](https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/[email protected]/manual/index.html) for documentation.

## Notes on determinism

For a deterministic physics simulation:

- All bodies must be created in the same order every time you create the simulation

- Bodies must only be modified in a system that is updated in FixedStepSimulationSystemGroup

- You must not use the result of floating point operations as input for the physics engine

- Be careful when using hashmaps / hashsets, because iterating over them may be non-deterministic (it depends on the implementation).

- Check how to use soft floats [here](https://github.com/Kimbatt/soft-float-starter-pack#how-to-use).

- Make sure that your code is also deterministic.

## Example

See the ExampleScene scene for an example. After running it, your simulation should look exactly like this:
