Using the get value async method is a one-time call, so what if we wanted to take a more dynamic approach to our list view? Well, since our database is real time, we can subscribe to a number of different built in events on any given router. For example, what if we took our router, players, and use the value changed call instead of get value async? Well, that would fire every time there was any kind of change to data under that node. However, if we wanted to be more specific, we could say "router players," and only fire when a new child is added. Let's do a more practical example in code here. In our player board manager, in the Awake function, I'm going to go ahead and comment out our database manager call. On a Mac commenting out in bulk is Command /, so I'm going to save that, and instead, I'm going to use…
