Programming games away is how I end my addictions to them. Sudoku was a big one for me. Once I have provably shown I can write a program to solve a game, I lose interest. But I still having fun. I really enjoy the design and writing of said programs.

    It’s the same reason I stopped playing chess, but it only hit me later that I lost interest because of the program I wrote.

    Now I just play casually if a friend wants to.

    Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Sometimes and for a certain type of person it's good to have alone time.
