I've managed to implement quadratic and cubic Bezier curves.They are pretty straightforward since we have a formula. Now I want to represent an n-th order Bezier curve using the generalization:

I'm using a bitmap library to render the output, so here is my code:

// binomialCoef(n, k) = (factorial(n) / (factorial(k) * factorial(n- k)))
unsigned int binomialCoef(unsigned int n, const unsigned int k)
{
    unsigned int r = 1;

    if(k > n)
        return 0;

    for(unsigned int d = 1; d <= k; d++)
    {
        r *= n--;
        r /= d;
    }

    return r;
}

void nBezierCurve(Bitmap* obj, const Point* p, const unsigned int nbPoint, float steps, const unsigned char red, const unsigned char green, const unsigned char blue)
{
    int bx1 = p[0].x;
    int by1 = p[0].y;
    int bx2;
    int by2;

    steps = 1 / steps;

    for(float i = 0; i < 1; i += steps)
    {
        bx2 = by2 = 0;
        for(int j = 0; (unsigned int)j < nbPoint; j++)
        {
            bx2 += (int)(binomialCoef(nbPoint, j) * pow(1 - i, (float)nbPoint - j) * pow(i, j) * p[j].x);
            by2 += (int)(binomialCoef(nbPoint, j) * pow(1 - i, (float)nbPoint - j) * pow(i, j) * p[j].y);
        }

        bresenhamLine(obj, bx1, by1, bx2, by2, red, green, blue);

        bx1 = bx2;
        by1 = by2;
    }

    // curve must end on the last anchor point
    bresenhamLine(obj, bx1, by1, p[nbPoint - 1].x, p[nbPoint - 1].y, red, green, blue);
}

Here's the set of points to render:

Point ncurv[] = {
                    20, 200,
                    70, 300,
                    200, 400,
                    250, 200
                };
