[Slackbuilds-users] pausing my SlackBuilds maintaining (graphics, games)

I'm taking SlackBuilds break: caregiving for my elderly parents most 
days 15 to almost 19 hours/day from 12 o'clock hour until my sister can 
wake up mornings. I never know I can concentrate on 
science/engineering/programming/hacking & graphics/art long, but if/when 
I can, might be exhausted, falling behind.
         When it's over, I hope to return to SlackBuilds; mine are the 
below.  With agreement I can resume later, feel free to 
increment/maintain any (but if you like my categories, I have huge 
addition/revival plan/wish lists).
         Some/most my games need serious work (preferably owned 
games:games in /usr/share/games for competition server security, but 
fixing to allow saving scores & user save-game files there, which is why 
UNIX Moria can't be replaced with C++ fork that removes all that and the 
documents/manpage, and introduces new serious bugs, and is 
anti-free_speech).
          Crawl, GRX, KuickShow might simply version increment, except 
new GRX is  different: not what it did, maybe for obscure/embedded 
computers, and no decimal-numbered stable versions, though nothing 
depends on it, and MGRX continues but doesn't fully replace (for 
graphics computer programmers' ease-of-use: framebuffer, SVGAlib, SDL, 
X... MGRX removed SVGAlib, SDL, and added DRM/KMS, Wayland).

my current SlackBuilds
* crawl (Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup.  Sometimes creators alternate 
source-code tar-ball file-name between crawl and stone_soup) (global 
scores/saves may or not need done)
* grx (graphics library not needing replacing, but adding mgrx)
* kuickshow (image viewer Pat could/should consider re-adding as now for 
KDE5,6 with regular stable version and frequent testing commits)
* larn (roguelike game inspired by Rogue) (global scores/saves need done)
* mangband (multiplayer Angband roguelike game forked from Moria) 
(scores/saves are only on server though after rebuild sbotools says it 
uses old library)
* moria (UNIX Moria (umoria) roguelike game inspired by Rogue) (global 
scores/saves need done) (repology.org is wrong saying it's behind 
because is last official C source-code hold-out rather than unofficial 
C++ fork)
* rogue (actually Rogue-ISRUN (bugfix) game) (save-game files are in 
/home/user) (repology.org would be wrong saying it's behind (or that 
others are equivalent) because is a fork only fixing critical old 
game-play bug)
* tome-ah (Tales/Troubles of Middle-earth roguelike game forked from 
Angband, anonymoushero fork) (global scores/saves likely need done)

my historical SlackBuilds
* angband (roguelike game forked from Moria.  Thanks, Ben (pi31415) for 
taking over.  Please check if I left save-game/scores files saving & 
security breakage)
* mathics (Wolfram language interpreter... mess of Python dependencies 
they won't document; even if they will, no longer my style: orphaned, 
unless I get much free time)
* tomenet (Tales/Troubles of Middle-earth networked/multiplayer) 
(ready-to-play content/binary tarballs exist since years: removed, but 
should package/SlackBuild)
* tome-sx (Tales/Troubles of Middle-earth sexy edition fork) (major 
compiling errors but creator doesn't use GNU/Linux nor responds: 
orphaned unless fixing/hearing)
