Elixir and OTP provide exceptional tools to build rock-solid backend applications that scale. In this course, you’ll build a web application in a radically different way, with a backend that holds application state. You’ll use persistent Phoenix Channel connections instead of HTTP’s request-response, and create the full application in distinct, decoupled layers.

In Part 1, you’ll start by building the business logic as a separate application, without Phoenix. You’ll model the application domain with Elixir functions and simple data structures.

In Part 2, you’ll add in the GenServer Behaviour to make managing in-memory state a breeze. 

In Part 3, you’ll build a web interface with Phoenix where you’ll use Phoenix Channels to establish persistent connections between the stateful server and a stateful front-end client.

Needless to say, you’re going to love this way of building web apps!

## `:player2_turn` 

This state is the mirror image of `:player1_turn`. When it’s the second player’s turn, they can guess a coordinate or win the game. No other events are permissible. Much of this will seem familiar since we need the same two clauses we defined for `:player1_turn` and `:player1`. However, this time we need it for `:player2_turn` and `:player2`.

The first clause should say that when the state is `:player2_turn`, `:player2` is allowed to guess. This guess transitions the state to `:player1_turn`:
```Elixir
def check(%Rules{state: :player2_turn} = rules, {:guess_coordinate, :player2}), do:
  {:ok, %Rules{rules | state: :player1_turn}}
```
