Hey, I’m trying to make an animation of a moving line with noise.  
so I have a vector of the position and the previous position and I make a line between the two and the update the vector and so on.  
The problem is that the line looks “jumpy”, it looks like it is made from little lines, and not a smooth organic single line. (I tried to store all the positions in an ArrayList and then draw it with curveVertex and it didn’t work).  
Any suggestions? 🤔
