spiral motion trigonometry?

[podenphant]

I want to make an object "ball" move from whereever it's at to new variable X and Y posistions. Furthermore I want it move along a spiral path.

I guess these would be the variables involved:

• newX (new X position)
  newY (new Y position)
  counter (how many steps)
  curveFactor (how curved should the motion be)

Can anybody help me out with some code?

This link isnt quite what you want, but it may help you out with the spiral math:

Hi FG

I had been shoping around and did find some good spiral examples.
It's the trig that troubles me ... how to make an object move from A to B following a Curve/spiral.

Thanx anyways

(why did hurry so much to unlearn trig dammit )
