a Guided Introduction to Elixir - Part 5 of 6
summary
Workshop-style walkthrough that actually shows code: building a gen_server state tuple for a simple game (adds three games, stats show player1 wins 1), debugging a failed map update and immutable reassignment, designing a supervision tree and using ETS for in-memory storage. Covers hot-deploy with mix/distillery (build a tarball, upgrade release) and a telnet MUD side project that intermittently dies (out‑of‑memory). Demos mostly work but some examples fail live and a hot-upgrade works locally once.
