Sure, it's possible to do what you want with the Propeller and a TV or VGA monitor. It's probably pretty easy. I'd suggest starting with the graphics demo (Graphics_Demo.spin) program and the graphics (Graphics.spin) driver that comes with the Propeller Tool. Like most contributed programs for the Propeller, the documentation is included as comments in the source program. The graphics driver allows you to draw lines and shapes on the monitor screen as well as place text in any of several colors.
