Justin Durocher contributed to the Cockatrice/Cockatrice repository by developing user-facing features and improving code maintainability over a two-month period. He built a Local Game Options Dialog that allows players to configure starting life totals and player counts, integrating persistent settings into the main window using C++ and Qt. Justin also implemented a drag-selection counter UI to enhance feedback during card selection. His technical approach included centralizing constants, refactoring card insertion logic into shared templates, and improving build reliability with CMake. Additionally, he enhanced documentation clarity, reducing onboarding friction and supporting long-term maintainability through careful technical writing and documentation engineering.

March 2026: Delivered user-focused features and completed foundational refactors to improve stability, performance, and maintainability. Key features implemented include a Local Game Options Dialog with persistent settings integrated into the main window, enabling players to configure starting life total and player count with streamlined UX. Added a Drag-Selection Counters UI featuring an overlay during drag and a persistent bottom-right counter to provide real-time feedback on card selection. Substantial codebase maintenance reduced magic numbers, centralized constants, and enhanced build/test reliability through CMake improvements and shared templates. These changes reduce onboarding friction for new players, improve UI feedback during card interactions, and establish a scalable foundation for future feature work.
