Candidate

Project: Trap Quest
Candidate upstream/homepage: https://github.com/Aika-McSlut/TrapQuest
Discovery evidence: RogueBasin
Reported license: NOASSERTION
License status: needs authoritative upstream verification before packaging

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 by authoritative upstream source and licensing facts. The issue candidate https://github.com/Aika-McSlut/TrapQuest returns HTTP 404. The apparently maintained successor repository is https://github.com/aika092/TrapQuest at verified master commit 34694604f559486e7777396b7a7fe72e3c70aa98 (2026-09-04), but it has no GitHub release, tag, repository license, or license file in its tree. At that exact revision, its README states that the repository is 'CURRENTLY NOT COMPILABLE', is a 'Partially redacted public version', and is 'FOR INFORMATIONAL USE ONLY' while a compilable version is being developed. This directly negates a source-buildable package and leaves redistribution terms for the Inform source, extensions, and bundled assets unverified. Canonical provenance therefore remains unestablished even if this successor is likely related. Unblock only when the canonical upstream publishes a fixed complete source revision or release that is expressly compilable, carries an authoritative FOSS license for all code and separately licensed assets/extensions, and provides a build/runtime path supporting a meaningful noninteractive smoke contract. No equivalent package exists in the local channel.
