Kintsugi

Build a calm, playable puzzle game called **Kintsugi**, named for the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold. The player is handed a ceramic bowl that has shattered into pieces, scattered and rotated, and must reassemble it — and as each shard locks into its correct place, a seam of gold flows along the join, until the mended bowl glows with its golden veins. It should really work in the browser: - The shards start scattered and mis-rotated; the player moves and rotates them (drag, click, keys — your choice) to fit them back together. - Pieces should snap satisfyingly when they're close to correct, and resist when they're wrong. - Completing the bowl is a real, reachable win state, rewarded with the gold seams and a quiet moment of completion. - Offer a way to start over, and ideally more than one bowl or a gentle increase in difficulty. This is the opposite of a twitchy arcade game — the mood is meditative, tactile, and warm: unhurried, forgiving, beautiful when finished. The philosophy of kintsugi is that the break is part of the object's history, made precious rather than hidden; let that idea show. Draw the bowl and shards yourself with canvas/SVG/CSS; no external images, audio, or network libraries. This challenge stresses **satisfying interaction and restraint** — precise drag/rotate/snap handling wrapped in a genuinely calming experience. All design decisions — art, controls, palette, feedback, motion — are yours. There is no single right answer; make something with a point of view.
