Anyone Willing To Have A Game Contest?

Any game besides Pong is a serious undertaking. I know you're just trying to get a lighthearted competition going, but game development is serious work. It would be more practical to have FIRST programmers join up than compete, each with their own project. I'm currently working with a college student on a Tactical RPG, and I've found that once you start work you begin to realize just how much goes into a game. There's a reason it takes professional game studios made up of a huge staff over a year to produce a game. Yes, commercial games are a lot more complicated than what you'd see here, but a game with any depth is a lot of work.
