How do I sin / cos/ lerp / derp

Are there any good existing tutorials about how to understand and work with these maths functions within C2? I don't really understand them conceptually and practically often relying on that 'liteTween' behavior. I find this video to be extremely inspiring:

I would absolutely love to be able to animate with code and am looking for references in the manuals and tutorials sections but if anyone already has examples / references they can point me to that would be very much appreciated!

Best,

Mick

I think what you are looking for is the easing, rather than the interpolation.

newt - yes that's part of it for sure and that is a fantastic link thank you. Fundamentally an understanding of how to reproduce the functionality of the sine behavior in code - any tutorials like that would make for a great starting point.

To extend onto it too, how do they achieve things in that video such as being able to have independent points follow a parent object while also wobbling and rotating

Trig.

x + cos(angle) * distance

Y + sin(angle) * distance

Plugging the parents xy into that while knowing each point's distance and angle will tell you where the point is.
