How do I move a shape along a sine curve?

I want to move a circle along a sine curve. How do I do this?

Pleassseee!

I love your passion

Maybe you can start with drawing a circle?

Thanks, I do have a circle!
I’m stuck with how to set up the x and y(x and y coordinates of the circle) to animate the circle, do you have any ideas on this?

Sorry I have no idea - do you want to share the code to draw a circle?

Hello,

You have to start somewhere…

I encourage you to review the resources available here:

• The Processing website has references, examples, tutorials, etc.
  https://processing.org/

• The Processing PDE has lots to offer!
  An exploration of the tabs will reveal what is available; libraries, tools, examples and more.
  

• The Coding Train
  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvjgXvBlbQiydffZU7m1_aw
  https://thecodingtrain.com/

• Happy Coding
  Processing Tutorials - Happy Coding

• The source code can give insight if you are adventurous:
  GitHub - processing/processing: Source code for the Processing Core and Development Environment (PDE)
  Some of the Processing helper functions are here:
  processing/core/src/processing/core/PApplet.java at master · processing/processing · GitHub

• The Processing Foundation
  https://processingfoundation.org/
  Check out the tabs.
  In the education tab, there is a reference to the Coding Train.

• And the Internet. :)

There may be something of interest in there for you.

Sine waves? There is a tutorial on trigonometry. And coordinate system and shapes.
