How it works

The formula

  • Release speed = 0.25 × the race model's speed after a 25 m run-up + arm speed 27.1 m/s × √(Attack/100) × (kg/70)^(1/6), under the same caps as the shot.
  • Flight: drag and lift on an 800 g javelin (Hubbard & Rust, 1984), released at 35° from 1.05 × height.
  • No arms: 60% of the speed.

Inputs: Speed, Attack, weight, height and body shape.

Modelled

  • Aerodynamic lift and drag
  • The run-up's speed
  • The limb-speed cap: strong throwers bunch near it, height decides

Not modelled

  • The javelin's pitching (it flies nose along its path)
  • Wind

The numbers that turn stats into strength, speed and spring are ours, anchored so a 70 kg athlete with base 100 lands an elite human mark; every constant and its source is in the open in lib/games/constants.ts.
