How it works

The formula

  • Release speed 14.1 m/s × √(Attack/100) × (kg/70)^(1/6): big bodies get a little extra from leverage.
  • Capped by the shot's mass (7.26 kg): Hill's force–velocity relation slows a muscle as the load nears its strength (its best clean & jerk), and no limb swings an implement faster than 31 m/s.
  • Released at 37° from 1.15 × height (at most 30 m), with air drag on a 12 cm sphere.
  • No arms (body shape): a head or tail flick at 60% of the speed.

Inputs: Attack, Defence (through the lift), weight, height and body shape.

Modelled

  • Projectile with drag, integrated in 1/600 s steps
  • Too weak to lift the shot: no mark
  • Three throws, best counts

Not modelled

  • Spin vs glide technique
  • Fouls in the circle

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.
