The advancements in cloud computing technology have played a significant role in facilitating distribution of downloadable contents as, game updates and detection of software errors (Ruparelia, 2016). The several gaming streaming services which allow users to access the gaming services without necessarily using additional hardware resources include Netflix, Hulu, and Pandora. There are several project requirements associated with a video game for entertainment purposes and are categorized into functional and nonfunctional requirements. Functional requirements stipulate the specific tasks performed by a system. Nonfunctional requirements, on the other hand, depicts the quality requirements of the gaming system and include maintainability, reliability, and performance ("Non-Functional Requirements | TankWars Project | Assembla," n.d.).

The specific requirements provide detailed descriptions of the user interface for the gaming software as well as hardware and software interfaces of the system. The main objective of this gaming system is to provide entertainment options, especially to youths. In order to come up with an effective game-based system, adhering to the following specific requirements would be vital

First, the system should adhere to the systems usability requirements including provision of in-game tutorials and helps, provision of a familiar user interface to the users and less time when loading the game. Secondly, the gaming system should be reliable, meaning that the system is in a position to detect any form of errors and resolve it within the minimum possible time. In addition, performance requirement plays a key role by taking into account degradation and resource utilization modes. Supportability is a specific requirement which enables the game to run on multiple platforms, portability of data, offering frequent upgrades and limiting regular maintenance. Online user documentation will be available to users after completion and delivery (Grady, 2006). Moreover, the gaming system will offer an interactive user interface, for instance, providing dialogue box and alerts in case of incorrect entries. As part of the interface requirements, users will not be required to possess any additional hardware in order to operate and communication from the database components will be properly encrypted to enhance security. Users will also not be required to incur costs related to licensing requirements. Finally, legal, copyright and other notices will be available to all potential users of the gaming system.
