Boomerang Arcs!

Okay, So I have an Object "Boomerang" and I need to have an 2Darray of all the x and y coordinates on an arc between 2 points. Like this So then I can make the boomerang go to each point in the 2Darray, making a fluid movement. How would I get the 2DArray from the 2 Points?

If you just want to make an actor go in an arc, there are much simpler ways for doing it (i.e. nccb's monkey scenario is a good example).

That's helped me alot, But with his Scenario, he just makes it go up, and then gravity affects it to make it arc. Whereas my game will be looking from top-down. So gravity isnt involved...

Yeah, after trying to mess about with it, I didn't get it working.

Yes, however, if you are still making an arc, the principle is the same: start out in one direction and then change it every act with some force. If you tell me more specifically what you are trying to do, then I think I could be more help.

Okay, let me publish my game so far. Link I want the Boomerangs to "curve" to the point (Where you click) and then curve back to the player.

Cool idea! It shouldn't be terribly hard. Do you want it to travel in a circle or more of an elliptical pattern.

If circle is easier, I'll do that, but Preferably an Elliptical pattern. :D

I still can't work it out. Any ideas?

I've got it working, It's just I need 1 more bit of math, Basicly, I have the x and y for the point where it rotates, but I need the point to be 2 times closer. So the actual boomerang will hit it, It's hard to explain so I will update my game, Just click where the boomerang should hit, and you will see what happens. Here

Instead of circling around mouse.getX() and mouse.getY(), you need to circle around the average of the two points (mouse.getX() + getX()) / 2 and (mouse.getY() + getY()) / 2
