[bug#54476] gnu: games: Add robotfindskitten.
Commit Message
Hello
I thought that I was working around a local implementation of ncurses,
but now I am convinced that there is a local bug, which I filed a
report against. See issue 54607. [1]
[1]: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/54607
Assuming that the bug will be fixed, there is no need for the snippet
which I proposed in previous patches. I attach a new patch to add
robotfindskitten, which is my offer in place of previous patches.
Meanwhile, even with that bug not being fixed, robotfindskitten is
still playable. It is just monochrome, which is a mode natively
supported by the game design.

For the record, you are still allowed to patch the source in a snippet
or build phase, but you should add a comment referring to this bug when
doing so.

Is that purely an aesthetic choice or are there other things to
consider w.r.t. your previous phase? If "monochrome" means black on
white or vice versa and the game only needs those colors, then sure,
waiting for ncurses to be fixed might be the wiser option.

Guix style does not always result in the best possible indentation and
is to be taken with a grain of salt.

Again, this synopsis and description need some love (grammatically
speaking), but it should also cut down on advertisements for
proprietary systems.
