# Cockatrice
Cockatrice is an open-source, multiplatform program for playing tabletop card games over a network. The program's server design prevents users from manipulating the game for unfair advantage. The client also provides a single-player mode, which allows users to brew while offline. This project uses C++ and the Qt5 libraries.

# Get Involved [](https://gitter.im/Cockatrice/Cockatrice)
[Chat](https://gitter.im/Cockatrice/Cockatrice) with the Cockatrice developers on Gitter. Come here to talk about the application, features, or just to hang out. For support regarding specific servers, please contact that server's admin or forum for support rather than asking here.
To contribute code to the project, please review [the guidelines](https://github.com/Cockatrice/Cockatrice/blob/master/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md).
We maintain a tag for "easy" changes on our issue tracker. Issues with this tag provide a simple way to get started. [Issues tagged as Easy Changes](https://github.com/Cockatrice/Cockatrice/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22Easy+Change%22)
Read the long-term project **roadmap** to see planned edits and milestones [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ewe5uSaRE2nR2pNPMaGmP6gVZdqgFbBgwSscGqIr4W0/edit).
We try to be responsive to new issues. We'll provide advice on how best to implement a feature; alternately, we can show you where the codebase is doing something similar before you get too far along.
Cockatrice uses the [Google Developer Documentation Style Guide](https://developers.google.com/style/) to ensure consistent documentation. We encourage you to improve the documentation by suggesting edits based on this guide.

# Building [](https://travis-ci.org/Cockatrice/Cockatrice) [](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/Daenyth/cockatrice/branch/master)
**Detailed compiling instructions are on the Cockatrice wiki under [Compiling Cockatrice](https://github.com/Cockatrice/Cockatrice/wiki/Compiling-Cockatrice)**
Dependencies:
- [Qt](https://www.qt.io/developers/)
- [protobuf](https://github.com/google/protobuf)
- [CMake](https://www.cmake.org/)
Oracle can optionally use zlib to load zipped files:
- [zlib](https://www.zlib.net/)
To compile:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
You can then run
make install
to get a cockatrice installation inside the `release` folder, or:
make package
to create a system-specific installation package.
The following flags can be passed to `cmake`:
- `-DWITH_SERVER=1` Whether to build the server (default 0 = no).
- `-DWITH_CLIENT=0` Whether to build the client (default 1 = yes).
- `-DWITH_ORACLE=0` Whether to build oracle (default 1 = yes).
- `-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug` Compile in debug mode. Enables extra logging output, debug symbols, and much more verbose compiler warnings (default `Release`).
- `-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 (default 0 = no).
- `-DTEST=1` Enable regression tests (default 0 = no). Note: needs googletest, will be downloaded on the fly if unavailable. To run tests: ```make test```.
# Running
`Cockatrice` is the game client
`Oracle` fetches card data
`Servatrice` is the server
#### Servatrice Docker container
You can run an instance of Servatrice (the Cockatrice server) using [Docker](https://www.docker.com/what-docker) and the Cockatrice Dockerfile.
First, create an image from the Dockerfile
`cd /path/to/Cockatrice-Repo/`
`docker build -t servatrice .`
And then run it
`docker run -i -p 4747:4747/tcp -t servatrice:latest`
>Note: Running this command exposes the TCP port 4747 of the docker container
to permit connections to the server.
Find more information on how to use Servatrice with Docker in our [wiki](https://github.com/Cockatrice/Cockatrice/wiki/Setting-up-Servatrice#using-docker).
