Added docstrings to yahtzee to outline methods
When I'm writing code, I'm trying to solve a specific problem, but when I write documentation, I'm trying to clearly convey what is actually going through my head. The shift is sort of subtle but it's awkward because I know what I'm thinking and what I'm trying to do, but as I write documentation there's a constant uncertainty of "will someone else be able to understand this, even if it's me in a week?" I certainly should start using docstrings, that's for sure. Writing documentation in general is something I should put more resources into because generally I only do it when I have already written some pseudocode planning out my process and that sort of naturally flows into becoming comments or docstrings. In reality, a lot of times I'm trying to code as fast as I can think and so as things develop quickly, I'm not taking the time to actually explain what's going on and to go back later and add those kinds of docstrings feels awkward, even though that exercise is still worthwhile in the grand scheme of the design.
