Cockatrice is an open-source multiplatform supported program for playing tabletop card games over a network. The program's server design prevents any kind of client modifications to gain an unfair advantage in a game. The client also has a built in single-player mode where you can brew without being connected to a server. This project is written in C++/Qt with support for both Qt4 and Qt5.

We offer a download for all full releases and the latest development version (recommended). Full releases are checkpoints with major feature or UI enhancements between them, but are infrequently updated. The development version contains the most recently added features and bugfixes, but can be more unstable. Downloads for development versions are updated automatically with every change. Downloads are hosted on BinTray.

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.

Detailed compiling instructions are on the Cockatrice wiki under Compiling Cockatrice

Dependencies:

• Qt
• protobuf
• CMake

Oracle can optionally use zlib to load zipped files:

• zlib (no https!)

The server requires an additional dependency when compiled under Qt4:

• 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.

A Dockerfile is provided to run Servatrice (the Cockatrice server) using Docker.

You just need to create an image from the Dockerfile
docker build -t servatrice .
And then run it
docker run -i -p 4747:4747/tcp -t servatrice:latest

Please note that running this command will expose the TCP port 4747 of the docker container to permit connections to the server.
More infos on how to use Servatrice with Docker can be found in our wiki.
