I want to animate a sprite between two points along a curved path...
My requirements are simple as at this stage it's just for a little
visual garnish so it doesn't have to be too adaptable, just take a start
and end loc then animate between those two points with a nice curve
thrown into the motion path.
Relatively quick answer:
however far along the path you are (a percentage) add or subtract (the
sin of (that percentage of pi) times some nice multiplier) to or from
the x and/or the y* of the sprite's loc if it were following the
straight path.
*which will look better depends on the slope of the path
