Two possible sources of inspiration; you're probably already familiar with them, but just in case you - or anyone else - isn't: Empty Black by Mary Rose Cook [1] is a great example of a highly playable game that is about as simple as it gets when it comes to graphics. Bouncing Beholder [2] is more about the 'code golf', but it's easy to read and understand the code once you go through the explanation, and it contains some useful techniques that would be applicable to a 'real' game.
