# 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.
# Get Involved [](https://gitter.im/Cockatrice/Cockatrice)
Chat 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.

# Translation Status [](https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/cockatrice/)
Cockatrice uses Transifex for translations. You can help us bring Cockatrice/Oracle to your language or edit single wordings by clicking on the associated charts below.
Our [project page](https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/cockatrice/) offers a detailed overview for contributors.

# 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](http://qt-project.org/)
- [protobuf](http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/)
- [CMake](http://www.cmake.org/)
Oracle can optionally use zlib to load zipped files:
- [zlib](http://www.zlib.net/)
The server requires an additional dependency when compiled under Qt4:
- [libgcrypt](http://www.gnu.org/software/libgcrypt/)
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).
- `-DPORTABLE=1` Build portable versions of client & oracle (default 0 = no).
- `-DWITH_QT4=1` Force compilation to use Qt4 instead of Qt5 (default 0 = no).
- `-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```.
#### Building servatrice Docker container
`docker build -t servatrice .`
# Running
`oracle` fetches card data
`cockatrice` is the game client
`servatrice` is the server
