No, taken literally, this would be very easy. Written in
C is no problem. Unix based is no problem, portable to
all unix systems is easy if the result is simple enough.
Graphics seems to be the complication, but remember, that "literally"
characters are graphics, so why not try submitting ...
main()
{
printf("Hello world\n");
}
which I believe literally meets all the (stated) requirements.
