        // description of your code here
Usage:

   Initialization:
	SmoothMove* sm = new SmoothMove(start,end,0.1,SmoothMove::DescQuadraticMethod);

   Every frame:
	Vector3 currentPosition = sm->IterateFrame(evt.timeSinceLastFrame);

   If you want to change the target at midflight:
	Vector3 newTarget(0.5,2.0,0.1); // the new target position
	sm->SetNewTarget(newTarget,0.4); // give it 0.4 seconds to go there

#include "smoothMove.h"

SmoothMove::SmoothMove(const Vector3 &start, const Vector3 &end, const float time,float (*smoothMethod)(float)): 
	mStart(start), mEnd(end), mTotalTime(time),mCurrentMethod(smoothMethod)
{
	mCurrentTime = 0;
	mCurrent = mStart;
}
	
Vector3 SmoothMove::IterateFrame(const float time)
{
	mCurrentTime+=time;
	if(mCurrentTime>mTotalTime)
		mCurrentTime=mTotalTime;
	return CalculateCurrentPos();
}

Vector3 SmoothMove::CalculateCurrentPos()
{
	mCurrent.x = CalculatePos(mStart.x,mEnd.x,mCurrentTime,mTotalTime);
	mCurrent.y = CalculatePos(mStart.y,mEnd.y,mCurrentTime,mTotalTime);
	mCurrent.z = CalculatePos(mStart.z,mEnd.z,mCurrentTime,mTotalTime);
	
	return mCurrent;
}

void SmoothMove::SetNewTarget(const Vector3 &end, const float time)
{
	mStart = mCurrent;
	mEnd = end;
	mCurrentTime = 0;
	mTotalTime = time;
}

bool SmoothMove::isEqual(float x, float y)
{
	return abs(x-y)<0.000000001;
}

float SmoothMove::CalculatePos(float start, float end,float currentTime, float totalTime)
{
	// we transform the currentTime value into a (0,1) range value that 
	// indicates the ammount of the travel we've done so far
	float x = 1-(totalTime-currentTime)/totalTime;
	
	// we make sure the method gives valid results at least for the beggining and end
	assert(isEqual((*mCurrentMethod)(0),0));
	assert(isEqual((*mCurrentMethod)(1),1));

	// We interpolate the value
	float current = (*mCurrentMethod)(x);
	
	// we go back from (0,1) range to (start, end) range
	current=current*(end-start)+start;

	return current;
}
