Jigsaw Puzzle gameplay with drag and drop pieces

A desktop jigsaw puzzle game built entirely with AI assistance using C++17, SFML 2.5 for graphics and input, and Cairo for rendering realistic interlocking puzzle pieces via Bezier curves. The game features three escalating difficulty levels — from 12 pieces (Easy) to 192 pieces (Nightmare) — with smooth drag-and-drop gameplay, snap-to-grid alignment, and audio feedback.
