All of the game programs like PONG, DRIVE, FLIP-IT, ect. show the techniques to display basic graphics and text. Bean can fill you in on any specifics. Keep in mind this is in Black and White only as it runs on any SX chip. At < $3 for an SX chip, it's very reasonable for simple graphics/text/gaming. The propeller is much more complicated to program but can also offer more capability (in color too). If you know any SX Assembly language you should also look at this link for SX28 gaming in some color: [url=http://www.rickard.gunee.com/projects/video/sx/gamesys.php]http://www.rickard.gunee.com/projects/video/sx/gamesys.php[/url]

However, if all you want is text and simple graphics then you should really look at Bean's SX Video Module: [url=http://www.sxvm.com/]http://www.sxvm.com/[/url] or a newer link: [url=http://hittconsulting.com/products/sxvideomodule/]http://hittconsulting.com/products/sxvideomodule/[/url]

The hardware for the video game console (in this link - not the SX video module) is nothing more than an SX chip (SX-28/48/52) with the required output lines (RA, RB, RC) and some resistors, Atari joystick (or buttons) and that's about it. See original link below:
