Arc shoot example?

[Outcast]

I am trying to come up with different enemy types for my new game. So far most enemies use regular shooting toward the player, but I am interesting in doing some arc shooting, where the "bullets" or grenades are fired in an arc toward the player. Is there any example of how to do this? Preferable without using any inbuilt movements if possible.

One solution is to use bézier curves. You can randomize target points and/or stop the movement on collision (for your needs). That's if I understand you correctly.

I learned most of rendering curves from this guy. DeadmanDines

Thanks, but is there a simpler way? I think I can recall seeing an example of shooting at a target in an arc.

a very simple way is to add/sub degrees to the rotation of a moving object. Some rules might be needed, for eg stop rotation when facing downwards.

I am in search of this same example right now, I had it but can't find anymore.
