Let me try to explain this. My idea was to have a spline which has
a "static" part (0..2) and a dynamic part. The sine wave stands
still relative to the ground, and only the point where both parts
meet is moved, as well as the three first points. The while loop
"accesses" the sine at different positions each time, relative to
clock.

I think this is due to the fact that the objects don't get
re-oriented. I'm too lazy to look up this now.

You can easily put the values into an array and use this (I don't
know well Chris' macro, but it seems to be possible to get my
values in there.

Try it ;)

P.S: I know i'm not good at explaining things.. hope you got the
point.
