Cockatrice/README.md

Cockatrice

Cockatrice is an open-source multiplatform software for playing card games, such as Magic: The Gathering, over a network. It is fully client-server based to prevent any kind of cheating, though it supports single-player games without a network interface as well. Both client and server are written in Qt 4.

License

Cockatrice is free software, licensed under the GPLv2; see COPYING for details.

Building

Dependencies:

• Qt
• protobuf
• CMake

The server requires an additional dependency:

• libgcrypt

To compile:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
make install

The following flags can be passed to cmake:

• -DWITH_SERVER=1 Build the server
• -DWITH_CLIENT=0 Do not build the client
• -DWITH_ORACLE=0 Do not build Oracle
• -DWITH_QT4=1 Force compilation to use Qt4 instead of Qt5.
• -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug Compile in debug mode. Enables extra logging output, debug symbols, and much more verbose compiler warnings.

Running

oracle fetches card data
cockatrice is the game client
