A reiteration of the classic game Space Invaders for the Windows Console with a partially implemented mini game engine.

With this project, I wanted to create a Space Invaders clone that would run on the Windows Command-Line. For this to work, we had to implement a mini-game engine that allowed us to print Ascii sprites, and animate them.

The hardest part was the Text Sprite animations. I wanted to have a nice readable text with a small fade for the score, and animate it to scroll up and down with the score increasing or decreasing.
