This is code from another language that i have translated. I have no idea what it's doing.
Seems to work well for rectangular shapes. Not so much for square shapes.

Nice effect.

I've been thinking whether Tweens can replace Trigonometric Functions more efficiently. I think the SMOOTH tween methods can help construct an approximation. With a chain of two SMOOTH methods, one should get something close to a SINE function. You could then just have the code play the chain again if it has finished playing.
What know for a fact that computing trigonometric functions is very CPU-intensive for mobile devices.
I wonder if Tweens somehow compute the data just once and are therefore more efficient. But only AppGameKit knows.

Hey AppGameKit Team, could you clear this up for us?

The easing is much better in real time. The gif doesn't do it justice i think.
It might be difficult to use tweens because it needs to Rotate, then FixObjectPivot, then scale

The code for AppGameKit Classic is on Github
Here are the interpolation calculations for tweening:

janbo, i have file, so maybe you'd be interested in redoing it?
Forgive my English.

@Qugurun
I just posted the source code of AGKC's tweening commands. Not sure what you want me to do as we already have neat Tweening commands

@janbo
Only 9 options are described in the documentation. The file that I gave is - 41.
