I’m working in this tic tac toe game in python. it's nothing special, but it's relatively complex considering where my python skills currently are. I have all the functions written and working, but I’ve yet to figure out how to all make them together. it's frustrating because I thought I was so close...but I still really enjoy spending time on this stuff. I don't know if I enjoy it so much because I enjoy the logical algorithmic thinking, or because I like to do stuff and watch that stuff work the way it's supposed to. It's a little of both I think. the logical thinking goes without thinking, but I find the making stuff work part manifests in my life a lot. for example, I like working on my car...or at least I did when I had a car, I cared about...and I think I like it for the same reason. figure out the problem, diagnose the cause, do some stuff, and then watch the car work. that last part, when you see things works the way they're supposed to, that's a pleasant dose of dopamine. I like solving problems. I like solving puzzles.
