[Lobby] Add instant quick host to the game room (#7802)
* Add instant quick host to the game lobby

* Use a native pull-down on macOS and a split button elsewhere

- Gate on the active application style instead of the platform, so
  choosing Fusion on macOS still gets the split button: QMacStyle ignores
  autoRaise/flat and draws a QToolButton menu as a separate square.
- Rebuild the host control on QEvent::StyleChange, because the appearance
  settings switch styles while the room is open.
- Keep the review action, its arrow and the host button disabled while a
  host or join command is still in flight.
- Announce inline quick-host failures to screen readers.

* Address review findings

* Replace the macOS pull-down with a sibling settings button

QMacStyle has no split-button rendering: a menu-bearing QToolButton is drawn as a second square bezel. Keep the primary Host game button as the one-click quick host on every platform, and show a plain Game settings button as the secondary action on macOS instead; other styles keep the split arrow.

Rename the secondary action from "Review settings first..." to "Game settings..." so the label says what it opens, and update the shortcuts page label to match.

Cockatrice

Cockatrice is an open-source, multiplatform application 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 Qt libraries.

Code

To commit code to the project, please review our Contribution Guidelines first.
We maintain two tags for contributors to easier find issues to potentially work on:

  • Good first issue
    Issues tagged in this way provide a simple way to get started. They don't require much experience to be worked on.
  • Help wanted
    This tag is used for issues that we are looking for somebody to pick up. Often this is for feature suggestions we support, but don't have the time to work on ourselves.

For both tags, we're willing to provide help to contributors in showing them where and how they can make changes, as well as code reviews for submitted changes.
We'll happily advice on how best to implement a feature, or we can show you where the codebase is doing something similar before you get too far along - put a note on an issue you want to discuss more on!

You can also have a look at our Todo List in our Code Documentation or search the repo for \todo comments.

Documentation CI Docs

There are various places where useful information for different needs are maintained:

Cockatrice tries to use the Google Developer Documentation Style Guide to ensure consistent documentation.
We encourage everybody to improve the documentation by suggesting edits based on this guide.

Translation Transifex Project

Cockatrice uses Transifex to manage translations. You can help us bring Cockatrice and Oracle to your language and just adjust single wordings right from within your browser by visiting our Transifex project page. The Webatrice web client manages its own translations in its repo.

Check out our Translator FAQ for more information about getting involved, and join a group of hundreds of others!

Build CI Desktop CI Docker

Dependencies: (for minimum versions search our CMake file)

Oracle can optionally use some packages to load compressed card files:


Basic compilation steps:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

You can then

  • Create a Cockatrice installation inside the release folder:
    make install
    
  • Or make an installation package specific to your system:
    make package
    

Note

Detailed compiling instructions can be found in the Cockatrice wiki at Compiling Cockatrice


The following flags (with their non-default values) can be passed to cmake:

Flag Description
-DWITH_SERVER=1 Build Servatrice server
-DWITH_CLIENT=0 Don't build Cockatrice client
-DWITH_ORACLE=0 Don't build Oracle card database tool
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug Compile in debug mode
Enables extra logging output, debug symbols, and much more verbose compiler warnings
-DWARNING_AS_ERROR=0 Don't treat compilation warnings as errors in debug mode
-DUPDATE_TRANSLATIONS=1 Configure make to update the translation .ts files for new strings in the source code
Note: make clean will remove the .ts files
-DTEST=1 Enable regression tests
Note: make test to run tests, googletest will be downloaded if not available

Tip

Build code documentation (Doxygen) according to our configuration into /docs-output:

doxygen Doxyfile

Run

Cockatrice is the game client
Oracle fetches card data
Servatrice is the server

Docker

You can build an image & deploy a Servatrice (Cockatrice server) container using Docker and our Dockerfile yourself.

For more details, look into our wiki section on Setting up Servatrice.
You'll also find more hints on our pre-build image there, or the docker-compose file which will configure and run both a MySQL server and Servatrice.
