Works, thanks to both of you.

All the packages in games.scm do it as one string, so I didn't change it
for now. It should be changed for all packages at once.

Thanks, I installed emacs-guix and it indents correctly now.
Previously I assumed the .dir-locals.el would be enough.

Good news everyone, I managed to package the check phase and all the
tests pass! The downside is that in order to run the tests the whole
game must be rebuild with a -DDEBUG define that seems to enable asserts
and debug outputs, otherwise the tests won't run. So the build times are
doubled.
That rebuild overwrites the objects, executable, and the .cflags file
from the build phase, so install would build it a 3rd time.
I worked around this by moving the check phase before the build phase.

I also added myself to the copyright header, since you mentioned that in
the mcomix thread.
