2d Mountainy Terrain

Question

Hi i am new on strackoverflow, could anyone help me with 2d Terrain trigonometry algorithm, how to achieve something like in screenshot?

this tutorial helps me a lot but still can't figure out how to create mountain terrain

My attempt evolved to this:

Vector (v0.x + t * length, center + amplitude * Mathf.Cos (angle * t));

thanks in advance

Answer 1

it looks like chain so:

1. generate n random height points

   just the peaks covering your screen or map or whatever.

2. compute chain between neighbors

   the chain length should be bigger then the distance between points. For the math see:
