Yes, you should just feed it derivative coordinates. I had to offset resulting angle because your sprite is rotated. I had a feeling i was plotting the derivative wrongly, but seems that was not the case. :awesome: Many thanks! That works perfectly. Thank you everyone for the suggestions / examples...

My maths knowledge isn't too great, but that makes things more understandable. I have just been fiddling around with math.atan2 in an attempt to rotate a sprite along the derivative curve, but can't seem to get it to work right. I put together a small love file with relevant code of what i am trying...

On the topix of bezier curves, I tried to look through Ref's example, where the car moves around the track, although i can't work out what is actually going on in the code to rotate the sprite in the correct direction of movement. I do see this on the wiki: https://love2d.org/wiki/BezierCurve:getDer...

But it is referenced, by the ipairs iterator. You are basically pulling elements out under the iterator, which also moves all indices back by one, making it skip entries. Then i suppose it must be good practice to iterate over all tables backwards where items are added/removed in a loop every time?...

Read the following post it covers the problem https://love2d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=83667&p=210479&hilit=ipairs+game#p210511 I'm fully aware of how that can cause problems in some use cases, but it isn't important here. The i value is only being used to remove that index from th...

Thanks that makes sense now, i changed it a little so that the target is always added at the exact end of the bezier curve. Many thanks. I understand the ipairs function, i don't see what you mean there though. But this is working great nicely now. :awesome: function missiles.update(dt) for i, missi...

Thank you both, very much this has helped alot. I think i understand this more now. I only stumbled upon this function for bezier curves yesterday, and it's not something i'm familiar with. Using your examples i managed to implement something roughly that works... although my implementation seems to...

May be something like you want. (old love with extraneous code) Click on control points to see effect, Thanks, i'll have a look at the code later, that should be useful. And now another episode of Two and a Half coordinates: Or i just clobbered together a snippet in about 30 seconds and ran it once...

How can i make a point traverse across a bezier curve? I whipped up a small example which hopefully will show what i want to achieve. I'm trying to get an object to travel along a defined bezier curve, but having trouble figuring out how i would do this. Basically, i want to plot 2 points, then move...

Fantastic. Really like the overall style of the game. Very nice job!
