How to make sprite move in sinusoidal in cocos2d?

Question

I have a sprite (e.g. paper plane). I would like it to move, as in the image below. I can use a variety of activities MoveTo, and RotateByto determine the path of points, but to me it seems like a bad idea. How can this be implemented?

I thought it would be nice to post an answer that outlined the basics of how the update would work if you had explicit control over the sprite.

I was not sure if you are using Cocos2d or Cocos2d-X, but the technique applies anyway. The code is in C ++ using Cocos2d-x.

( UpdateAnimation()):

// This assumes the frame rate is relatively constant
// at 60 fps.
const double SECONDS_PER_TICK = 1.0/60;
const double DURATION = 8.0;     // Seconds for total animation.
const double X_START = 100;      // Pixels
const double Y_START = 200;      // Pixels
const double X_STOP = 800;      // Pixels
const double X_SPEED = (X_STOP-X_START)/DURATION;
const double Y_PERIOD = 4.0;     // Seconds for y cycle.
const double Y_HEIGHT = 100;
const double LAUNCH_ANGLE = M_PI/4; // Angle for line.
const CCPoint ANCHOR(X_START,Y_START);

CCPoint RotatePointAboutAnchor(const CCPoint& pt,double theta,const CCPoint& anchor)
{
   double xPrime = cos(theta) * (pt.x-anchor.x) - sin(theta) * (pt.y-anchor.y) + anchor.x;
   double yPrime = sin(theta) * (pt.x-anchor.x) + cos(theta) * (pt.y-anchor.y) + anchor.y;

   return CCPoint(xPrime,yPrime);
}


void HelloWorld::InitAnimation()
{
   _ticks = 0;
   _ticksTotal = DURATION/SECONDS_PER_TICK;
}

void HelloWorld::UpdateAnimation()
{
   if(_ticks <= _ticksTotal)
   {
      double seconds = _ticks*SECONDS_PER_TICK;
      double xPos = X_START + seconds*X_SPEED;
      double yPos = Y_START + Y_HEIGHT*sin(seconds*2*M_PI/Y_PERIOD);
      CCPoint pos = RotatePointAboutAnchor(CCPoint(xPos,yPos), LAUNCH_ANGLE, ANCHOR);
      // Set the position of the sprite
      _sprite->setPosition(pos);

      CCLOG("Tick: %d, Seconds: %5.2f, Position: (%f,%f)",_ticks,seconds,pos.x,pos.y);
      if(_ticks%10 == 0)
      {  // Add a trail
         CCSprite* marker = CCSprite::create("Icon-72.png");
         marker->setScale(0.1);
         marker->setPosition(_sprite->getPosition());
         marker->setZOrder(50);
         addChild(marker);
      }
      // Increment the ticks count for next time.
      _ticks++;
   }
}

void HelloWorld::draw()
{
   CCLayer::draw();
   CCPoint start;
   CCPoint stop;

   start = RotatePointAboutAnchor(CCPoint(X_START,Y_START), LAUNCH_ANGLE, ANCHOR);
   stop = RotatePointAboutAnchor(CCPoint(X_STOP,Y_START), LAUNCH_ANGLE, ANCHOR);
   ccDrawLine(start,stop);

   start = RotatePointAboutAnchor(CCPoint(X_START,Y_START+Y_HEIGHT), LAUNCH_ANGLE, ANCHOR);
   stop = RotatePointAboutAnchor(CCPoint(X_STOP,Y_START+Y_HEIGHT), LAUNCH_ANGLE, ANCHOR);

   scheduleUpdate();
