Project description
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 extensible to allow single-player games without a network interface as well. Both client and server are written in Qt 4.

License
Cockatrice is fully GPL licensed and thus free software.

Development status
Cockatrice is being actively developed by Max-Wilhelm Bruker (brukie at gmx dot net) and Marcus Schütz. At the moment, while it is fully possible to use Cockatrice for playtesting purposes, it is not ready for online tournaments yet due to the lack of sideboarding and other important functions. We aim to resolve these issues shortly.

It's got a long way to go to catch up to MWS and OPT...but since it's open source it might have a chance...

We all gotta start at the starting line Ace

Anyway, Tip #1: Be sure to keep the following in mind.

- multiplayer
- sealed / draft
- allow the use of mws pics (Cardname.full.jpg)

Good coding!
