I'm a sample of one, but I was kind of in your shoes. I'm a huge baseball fan and spent lots of time programming tools to help me perform better in my fantasy leagues. From there, I thought, "why not program my own baseball simulator?"
So, I started but I kept running into "I wonder how they do....?" interface questions because I didn't like gaming, so I started playing a baseball simulator.
To say I was fucking amazed would be an incredible understatement. The complexity and depth they achieved was so far out of my league that I wanted to keep playing, partly as a tribute and partly in hopes of figuring out their secrets. But, if you'd asked me then, I still would have said, "Yeah, i don't like games."
And, then for Christmas a few years ago, we got our kids a PS4. At first, I was a fuddy duddy who didn't like games, but then my stepdaughter taught me how to play Minecraft...
Today, roughly four years have gone by since I decided to build my own baseball simulation. As it stands, the simulation might be one of the worst pieces of software ever built, though I cant recall another project where I've flat out learned so much.
