Candidate

Project: God of Change
Candidate upstream/homepage: http://code.google.com/p/godofchange/
Discovery evidence: IRLDb
Reported license: New BSD License (Open Source)
License status: reported free license; verify exact terms and asset coverage against the pinned upstream source
Catalog note: IRLDb status: 7drl.

Scope

Package the independently playable roguelike from source. The canonical repository, latest stable release, source hash, complete dependency closure, and relationship to parent games or sibling forks must be established before implementation. Do not substitute an opaque prebuilt binary.

Research checklist

Identify the canonical maintained source repository and immutable release/commit.
Verify the exact FOSS license for code and every installed font, tile, sound, map, documentation, and bundled dependency.
Check GNU Guix and the channel audit set for an equivalent same-upstream package.
Determine the offline build system and source closure, including submodules or language registries.
Identify updater, telemetry, runtime download, mutable-state, and network behavior that needs Guix integration.

Acceptance checks

guix lint -L . <package> has no package-specific findings.
guix build -L . --no-grafts <package> succeeds without network access or opaque binaries.
Upstream tests run where available, and guix build -L . --no-grafts --check <package> verifies reproducibility.
A fresh HOME/XDG smoke test starts a real local game, exercises meaningful gameplay or save/load behavior, and proves no store writes.
Installed license and third-party notices cover the shipped closure and assets.

Goocastle recorded disposition: blocked.

Blocked: the authoritative Google Code Archive metadata for https://code.google.com/p/godofchange/ identifies the project as Adam Gatt's 2011 Mercurial project but reports hasSource=false and an empty contentLicense. The canonical historical source URL, https://godofchange.googlecode.com/files/God%20of%20Change%20-%20Source.zip, returns HTTP 404; the corresponding official Google Code Archive source object, https://storage.googleapis.com/google-code-archive-source/v2/code.google.com/godofchange/source-archive.zip, returns HTTP 403. Focused searches found only contemporaneous catalog pages, not a maintained canonical mirror or redistributable source. The local channel audit found no God of Change package, package identity, or runtime-proof history, so this is not a duplicate. Without an authoritative source at a fixed revision and its complete file tree, the source hash, build metadata/toolchain closure (including libtcod and any assets), exact code/asset/dependency license notices, and a safe meaningful runtime invocation cannot be established. No Guix build was attempted because the phase boundary says the daemon is unavailable; this is not treated as an upstream build failure. Unblock only when the project owner or an authoritative archive supplies a complete redistributable source bundle or maintained canonical repository at an immutable revision, with exact license/provenance evidence for every independently fetched origin and build/run instructions sufficient to define the Guix package and a deterministic gameplay or save/load smoke contract.
