Using a Console Application as a Screensaver

I have created a simple C++ program that continuously outputs cosine waves made out of 1s and 0s to the console. Is there an easy way to use a console application as a screensave开发者_StackOverflowr, or do I have to dabble in the Windows API?

Here's an older tutorial describing how to make your own screensaver in Windows. I haven't tried it myself, but the responses to the original post make it look promising.
