Hi,<br />
<br />
I would like to animate the movement of an image so it will follow a trajectory similar to a basket ball.<br />
<br />
I need to translate the flight path into x/y co-ordinates using Javascript.<br />
<br />
A symmetrical arc would be pretty easy to describe. But I want a path which is closer to a lob, like that of a basketball from the free throw point.<br />
<br />
Could someone please point me to a formula or algorithm I could use for this ?<br />
<br />
Regards,<br />
<br />

Game programming is the software development of video games. Game programming requires substantial skill in software engineering as well as specialization in simulation, computer graphics, artificial intelligence, physics, audio programming, and input. Like other software, game development programs are generated from source code to the actual program by a compiler. Source code can be developed with almost any text editor, but most professional game programmers use a full integrated development environment (IDE).

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.
