You probably mean 'spheres are the only *shapes* that might be used' - 
otherwise without colors, textures, light sources etc. the results would 
be pretty boring...

It could be that with such a restriction the results will be less 
interesting for non-technical people.  What might be better is to have a 
certain 'base scene' every submission is appended to when being rendered 
and at the same time reducing the number of characters allowed.  There 
could for example be a light source, camera, background and radiosity 
block predefined.

Another possible variant would be to disallow certain characters in the 
code (like for example the only digits allowed being '0' and '1'). ;-)
