I am building an puzzle for an escape room where it takes keystrokes and displays it on a screen. I have tried using the VGA libraries and can't find one with text that is high definition enough to look good. I am proficient in C++, and I'm okay with setting up a raspberry pi. I need the puzzle to start up automatically when it is powered on.
Sequence of operation of puzzle.
flip a switch and puzzle is enabled.
Display a list of text on monitor.
type in specific keystroke that appears on screen as they type.
4 correct keystroke activates a relay.
What would be the easiest way to implement this?
raspberry pi as display shield to an Arduino?
Is there a VGA Arduino setup with descent resolution (can be only two colors)
Is there a HDMI shield/board i could connect to an Arduino?
Is there a another way to do it?
What specifically is wrong with my post? How could i make it better? I looked over the link you sent. Did i post this in the wrong forum?
I want guidance on how to approach this project. I don't have code. I have an outline of what I want my project to do.
A lot. Schematics, code so far. Forum will not make it for You.
A common tip is adapting one peripheral, making test code to make it work and get comfortable with it. Then add one more peripheral and do the same.
Asking for guidelines for an entire game is not giving the result You want.

As I read the OP, the OP is looking for general guidance, he's not at the stage where a schematic or code is appropriate yet. If you need a schematic or code to participate, maybe wait, or move on, until he presents those before going on the attack about the lack of those?
I fully get the "I can't help with this without those", but he said up front he's not there yet, if you read between the lines.
@why-a-cloak-007 Unfortunately, this forum is more about helping with nuts and bolts, and sometimes telling you why those nuts won't fit these bolts, than it is about how to choose a car chassis. Hopefully, others will chip in with some general guidance.
