Calculus would suggest a way: it’s a path integral. You’ll approximate it by initializing distance to zero, starting with a position at time t0, taking a time step dt, calculating a new position at time t0 + dt, and adding the distance traveled in that time to the distance. Rinse, repeat until you stop the loop.
