I'm Unsatisfied with Easing Functions

I'm unsatisfied with easing functions You've probably encountered easing functions before. If you're a creative coder, you've likely heard of them or used them. If you're a user, you've certainly interacted with them. They're everywhere, and they give a little more life to computer generated animations.
