Make Jumping Sprite/Parabolic Jump/Projectile Movement of Sprite

If you want to make your Sprite move in a parabolic path or projectile path then you are in right place. I am going to explain how to do it simply.

You can do it using CCJumpBy action.

Let your sprite position is (0,0), You want to jump it to position (100,0) with a maximum height of 50.

id jump = [CCJumpBy actionWithDuration:1 position:ccp(100, 0) 
height:50 jumps:1];
[sprite runAction:jump];

Let me explain now-

actionWithDuration : 1 - is the time required to reach the destination or simply your action time.
postion : ccp(x,y) - is the position you want to see your sprite at the end. In our case it is (100,0).
height : h - is the maximum height it will reach during jump. In our case it is 50.
jumps : 1 - it is the number of jumps it will do to reach the destination. For a projectile or parabolic path it is tend to be 1.

You may play around with it to see the results and effects.
