Are you a real elite hax0rz? Do you need the infamous scrolling text as part of your hacker toolkit? Do you want to impress your friends and strike fear into the hearts of your internet enemies?

Look no further! Inspired by Chris Allegretta's cmatrix, I present to you cppmatrix! I feel my program improves upon cmatrix by alternating characters each frame, giving you a more dynamic look. Run cmatrix and cppmatrix side by side to see which one you like better :)

Current usage:
cppmatrix [-s SPEED] [-c COLOR] [-m HEIGHT]

• SPEED: How many Frames Per Second cppmatrix tries to run at - defaults to 20


• COLOR: a string of the color to display the text in; one of these:
  green, blue, red, yellow, magenta/purple, cyan, white, and black -
  defaults to green


• HEIGHT: The maximum number of characters of 1 text column - defaults to 15

Notes:
-Requires ncurses to compile and run
-Slow when using larger console screens; runs best using the normal 80 character width. This is due to the fact that it loops through each column on the screen each frame :P
