What are parabolic curves?

Hi there,

If I have a start position, a current position and an end position, is it possible to generate a parabolic curve for movement? If so, how do you code parabolic curves?

Thanks :)

Could you describe your situation in a little more detail please? There are many methods you could use. Depending on whether you're simulating gravity, smooth character motion, etc., the best method to use is different.

well I'm making a particle system and at each step I'd like them to curve to meet the destination point at time t. But it's not essential though... I'm sort of alright with the code I have (it's a hack but it works) :)
