##How It Works

The puzzle is created by taking subsurfaces from the map image, centering them onto a larger surface and overlaying the correct puzzle piece. The pieces were were similarly created from resources\graphics\puzzle.png. The black portions were done manually in paint.net.

The user can grab or place a piece or section of pieces by left-clicking the mouse. Placing a piece or section next to a neighboring piece or section joins the pieces/sections (when the puzzle is completed there will be a single PuzzleSection object that contains all the puzzle pieces).
