had a chunk of game design work itself out in my head involving classifying melee weapon designs by the types of machine involved. they're mostly lever-wedges, i guess. i'm kinda reaching the conclusion that a flail or whip is a pulley, though, which is fascinating

or to be more precise the flail or whip is the "rope" element of the pulley arrangement and your arm or head or whatever is the wheel element

i was basically thinking that the flail or whip was using the target to alter the direction of the kinetic energy involved and that made it a pulley. but it's not really right, the KE is moving in the wrong direction and the important part of what it's doing is lever behavior
