The limitation of not using pre-existing libraries and artwork is a 
deterrent. You might be able to talk more game creators with advanced 
skills into competing, if those limitations didn't exist.

I think you should allow pre-existing libraries, but only if they supply 
the source code with the game. To me, this contest is more of a 'watch 
how I code' exhibition more than anything, and I think it would be fun 
to loosen the rules to let more advanced game creators participate.
