random 2d landscape

[curlyj]

Hello!
I would like some help and advice...
im trying to generate random 2d landscapes - kinda worms style, but I just want a line that goes from the left of the screen to the right - I dont need extra bits of land floating on there own.
I wish I had some code to show you - every effort ive made looks very messy and consisted of lots of lines.

It seemed like a simple problem - and i was wrong!
I was told that I should try using cos and sin but im now more lost then ever!
and help would be great.
with thanx!

I'n not sure if this is what you want but, I saw this in a Mario knock off one time and it seemed to work.
First, draw the bits of land, one by one and then save each one into a file. (Using GET)
Then, randomly pick one of the strings and PUT it on the screen
