ok im going to come right out and say it, im making my version of skee-ball for the DBC challenge

my idea is for the player to be able to adjust the ramp size

I need a way to create a series of slowly angling plains that will simulate a curve upwards

say the ramp size is 30, then at the end of the straight-away are 3 plains, each rotated 10 degrees more upwards than the last, with connecting endpoints

how would i go about creating such an effect?

I think I have seen something like this in math classes a long time ago. They follow the function of a square of a number (probably one of the variables). That should give you an ever increasing slope to a line.
Maybe this will give you some idea of a way to go.
(You also know that I don't know much about programming, just a bit about math.)
