Client authoritative state distribution sytem

A non-transitory, machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, effectuate operations comprising:

• establishing, with a first client computing device, a first peer-to-peer connection between the first client computing device and a second client computing device, wherein the first client computing device is associated with a first participant in a coordinate grid environment provided by an application and the second client computing device is associated with a second participant in the coordinate grid environment;
• determining, with the first client computing device, that a coordinate grid state of the first participant has experienced a state change;
• and
• providing, with the first client computing device and in response the state change to the coordinate grid state satisfying a state change condition, at least a portion of first participant state information associated with the state change of the first participant from the first client computing device to the second client computing device via the first peer-to-peer connection, wherein the at least the portion of the first participant state information associated with the state change of the first participant updates previously stored first participant state information of the first participant maintained by the second participant associated with the second client computing device.
