thanks martin...it seems with no query handling the database Next func does
not run anyway as the rows evaluate to false in the for loop...
// tell other players in the room you have entered
rows_users, err := database.Query("SELECT username FROM users WHERE room =
? AND username != ?", room, username)
// if the user from the db is connected then send them a message
var user string
for rows_users.Next() {
rows_users.Scan(&user)
if conn, ok := m[user]; ok {
conn.Write([]byte(string(username + " has entered the room\n# ")))
}
}
I should probably print something in the loop to confirm but I certainly
don't get any null pointer connection errors so may just comment this for
clarity and leave it. I guess it saves more code ;-)
