ASCII Art Cartoon (Color): Alien Invasion

Hi. I'm a computer science major, taking my first C++ programming class. We are only covering the basics. I wanted to see what was possible with the limited knowledge that I have at this point. So, I built a library to handle text movement across a screen buffer.

Please comment and let me know what you think, or if you would like to see more ASCII cartoon. I am always looking for new challenges.

All the music was downloaded from the following open source music websites:
