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, supporting both Qt4 and Qt5.

Building

Detailed compiling instructions are on the Cockatrice wiki under Compiling Cockatrice

Dependencies:

Oracle can optionally use zlib to load zipped files:

zlib

The server requires an additional dependency when compiled under Qt4:

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.
-DPORTABLE=1 Build portable versions of client & 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.
-DUPDATE_TRANSLATIONS=1 Configure make to update the translation .ts files for new strings in the source code. Note: Running make clean will remove the .ts files.
