This may be some simple math, but its late, and my brain hurts. I want to make a spherical curve on my matrix by taking a value from 'a' to 'b' over x loops. Youd think curvevalue could do this, but it doesnt (for me at least). As the difference between the current value and the destination value becomes less and less, the change becomes less and less, thus making it imposible to make a complete curve over x loops.

Sooo, what would the math look like then?

Hmmm maybe the math isnt so simple? My sin/cos/tan is a little rusty, but I imagine this effect could be done with angles. Still nobody knows?

Awe come on there must be a math wizzy out there. Nobody has any idea or nobody understands what Im trying to do? I just want a to write a function that makes a dome/sphere shape, thus I need to curve a value over a set ammount of steps.

Sonic u r my hero. I thought about doing it like that but figured there might be a 'better' way using sin/cos/tan. I guess this works just fine
