Sorry meant SX video module
Using this app, can I hook up the SX to an old computer monitor and when something hits a switch, the char on the screen moves forward?

The SX Video module and SX Video OSD modules only have outputs and no inputs for your switch. This means you will have to use something like a Basic Stamp or SX chip (SX-28,48, etc..) for it's I/O.
Your task is very possibly using a video monitor and a Basic Stamp to keep it in simple terms.
The source code for the video modules is freely available. If you really wanted to you could actually modifiy the firmware for the module to allow it to work stand-alone. It already has a voltage regulator, and the outputs can easily be made to be inputs.
Of course for a 1-off project it would be alot faster to just use a stamp as Timothy has suggested.
