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.

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
servatrice is the server
