![]() The apices in this first-century inscription are very light. Thus it was during the classical Latin period that the Latin alphabet contained 21 letters and 2 foreign letters: An attempt by the emperor Claudius to introduce three additional letters did not last. The letter ⟨K⟩ was used only rarely, in a small number of words such as Kalendae, often interchangeably with ⟨C⟩.Īfter the Roman conquest of Greece in the 1st century BC, Latin adopted the Greek letters ⟨Y⟩ and ⟨Z⟩ (or readopted, in the latter case) to write Greek loanwords, placing them at the end of the alphabet. ![]() From then on, ⟨G⟩ represented the voiced plosive /ɡ/, while ⟨C⟩ was generally reserved for the voiceless plosive /k/. Later, probably during the 3rd century BC, the letter ⟨Z⟩ – not needed to write Latin properly – was replaced with the new letter ⟨G⟩, a ⟨C⟩ modified with a small vertical stroke, which took its place in the alphabet. The letter ⟨C⟩ was the western form of the Greek gamma, but it was used for the sounds /ɡ/ and /k/ alike, possibly under the influence of Etruscan, which might have lacked any voiced plosives. Old Italic alphabet LettersĪrchaic Latin alphabet Archaic Latin alphabet Old Italic alphabet The Duenos inscription, dated to the 6th century BC, shows the earliest known form of the Old Latin alphabet. That alphabet was derived from the Euboean alphabet used by the Cumae, which in turn was derived from the Phoenician alphabet. It is generally believed that the Latin alphabet used by the Romans was derived from the Old Italic alphabet used by the Etruscans. Main article: History of the Latin script Origins ![]() ![]() Hundreds of symbols and abbreviations exist, varying from century to century. This habit continued even in the Middle Ages. This was due to the fact that if the text was engraved on stone, the number of letters to be written was reduced, while if it was written on paper or parchment, it saved precious space. Furthermore, abbreviations or smaller overlapping letters were often used. More recently, linguists have also tended to prefer the Latin script or the International Phonetic Alphabet (itself largely based on the Latin script) when transcribing or creating written standards for non-European languages, such as the African reference alphabet.Īlthough Latin did not use diacritical marks, signs of truncation of words (often placed above or at the end of the truncated word) were very common. With the age of colonialism and Christian evangelism, the Latin script spread beyond Europe, coming into use for writing indigenous American, Australian, Austronesian, Austroasiatic and African languages. The Etruscans ruled early Rome their alphabet evolved in Rome over successive centuries to produce the Latin alphabet.ĭuring the Middle Ages, the Latin alphabet was used (sometimes with modifications) for writing Romance languages, which are direct descendants of Latin, as well as Celtic, Germanic, Baltic and some Slavic languages. The Latin alphabet evolved from the visually similar Etruscan alphabet, which evolved from the Cumaean Greek version of the Greek alphabet, which was itself descended from the Phoenician alphabet, which in turn derived from Egyptian hieroglyphs. Letter shapes have evolved over the centuries, including the development in Medieval Latin of lower-case, forms which did not exist in the Classical period alphabet.įor broader coverage of this topic, see History of the alphabet. These Latin-script alphabets may discard letters, like the Rotokas alphabet, or add new letters, like the Danish and Norwegian alphabets. The term Latin alphabet may refer to either the alphabet used to write Latin (as described in this article) or other alphabets based on the Latin script, which is the basic set of letters common to the various alphabets descended from the classical Latin alphabet, such as the English alphabet. Its modern repertoire is standardised as the ISO basic Latin alphabet. With modifications, it is also used for other alphabets, such as the Vietnamese alphabet. Largely unaltered with the exception of additions (the letters ⟨J⟩, ⟨U⟩, and ⟨W⟩) and extensions (such as diacritics), it forms the Latin script that is used to write many modern European languages, including English. The Latin alphabet, also known as the Roman alphabet, is the collection of letters originally used by the ancient Romans to write the Latin language. 18 CE (derived from Eastern Arabic numerals and Brahmi numerals) BCEĪdlam (slight influence from Arabic) 1989 CE

Unlike the main trio and Metal Sonic, Amy doesn't curl into a ball when jumping. With Knuckles out of the way now, we have our first of the unlockable characters, Amy Rose. Like Tails, this makes platforming around areas easier, and more importantly, makes exploration as the two easier, even if knuckles will sometimes have to take a path Sonic and Tails can't. In addition to this, he can glide and climb on walls. He can break through walls that Sonic and Tails either can't, or need to spindash to break through. He also still gets tired after flying for too long, so there are times where you will need to land on the ground again to help make sections easier.Īfter Tails is Knuckles. Tails is the next character and as always, he has the ability to fly for a short period of time, allowing him to have an easier time with platforming. ![]() The speed it gives might make you overshoot a jump. Just be careful of trying to use it for platforming. Because of this, its a good tool to use to help Sonic cover large stretches of land easily. ![]() You know the air dash the homing attack has in most 3d games? It's essentially that, only with a tremendous amount of speed given. While Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Metal Sonic can all spin dash, Sonic is capable of performing an ability called the thok. Each character also has different stats, like Amy and Fang jumping the highest, while Sonic and Metal Sonic move the fastest. Sonic can start a file with Tails by his side. As for the characters, there's Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles to start out with, followed by the unlockable Amy, Fang, and Metal Sonic, an dyes. For me personally, I prefer using the simple control style with a controller, while using the right analog stick to control the camera, like a standard 3d platformer. Now, with all the non-unlockable stages out of the way, how are the controls? SRB2 is pretty customizable with how its controls are, whether you use keyboard and mouse or a controller. But after you do the two acts, race and fight against Metal Sonic, you then fight the final boss of the game. One of the messages that can be given for quitting the game even makes mention of this. Lava, conveyors, lasers, gravity, even the vacuum of space is an obstacle that you can suffocate in. This is the final zone of the game, and probably the hardest. With a few hidden extra levels thrown in.Įgg Rock. Green Flower, Techno Hill, Deep Sea, Castle Eggman, Arid Canyon, Red Volcano, and Egg Rock. As of 2.2.9, the game currently has six zones. With it being your objective to go through the stage and reach the end, all the while being able to explore for hidden shields, ring monitors, invincibility, speed shoes, emblems, and emerald tokens. Much like the Genesis games, SRB2 follows a 2 act structure, with the third act relegated to being a bossfight against Eggman. But for most people, they go to a Sonic game for the gameplay. ![]() Sonic Adventure and SA2 show this off well. But this isn't the main thing people go to a Sonic game for. Sonic, Tails and Knuckles find this out, and that Eggman is after the Chaos Emeralds again. To showcase its power, he uses it to carve out his face into a mountain. Eggman has harnessed the energy of a asteroid called the black rock to build himself a space station. Much like the Genesis games, this game does have a story. SRB2 as a game aims to replicate the same style of gameplay as the Genesis trilogy, CD and Sonic Mania, and I believe it does so in a near perfect way. A Sonic game made with a Doom engine? Is something like that even possible? Would it even resemble Sonic? And the answer is, yes actually. Now I know what you all may be wondering.

The archetypal moustache shape the Poirot is the elder statesmen of moustache styles. Regular care and constant vigilance is needed to maintain the Dail. Shaving the main body of the moustache until only two long, thin strands remain then pulling upwards towards the eyes creates the Dali. Possible the most unorthodox of all moustache styles, the Dali strikes an uncompromising impression upon anybody who the Dali wearer will pass. Kings Barber Shop in Birmingham guarantees a warm welcome for anybody sporting a Hulk. A favourite of Hulk Hogan, a bushy blonde handlebar moustache is an extremely enviable moustache. Light hair can struggle to create the desired impact of most moustaches, but the handlebar moustache bypasses that problem. The Hulkīlonde haired moustache growers often complain that there are no options for them. The visual impact is significantly lessened if careless stubble sits atop the main body of moustache. Daily care is required to maintain the appearance of this moustache to help increase its impact. Shave as much of the moustache as possible leaving a thin line above the upper lip.

Hopefully all your moustaches will be starting to take some form of shape and style. ![]() You notice that the loop is now open at the position where the city storage is. We end up with a pattern like this:Ĭonnected corners, useful grid and no more closed loop. Now we find out which corner road to extend by drawing our grid so that it exactly fits into the corners. ![]() That's why I marked some of the road in red where I will later open the loop. We also remember that we want to avoid redundancies, so we don't need to close the loop. As we don't know yet whether it is better to extend the vertical or horizontal roads, lets draw them in light grey for now. To utilitze the corners, we need to extend these road to the border as we also did in our capital. Wouldn't it be great if we get the same in our region? So let's start with placing these near-border roads: In our capital city, we were able to utilitze all borders and build buildings there because we had a road exactly 2 fields away from the border. Now as we know that we want neither a 1 field wide stripe at the right border nor a border road at the top, let's think about what we really want. This road is 50% useless, because it has no buildings on the other side. Now we end up with a road at the top border. Second attempt with border road at the top Let try again, now placing the roads in the other direction: On the right, you see a violation of our even grid rule: We have a road that is just one field away from the border, so we can place lots of parks, wind turbines and ponds there, right? Obviously, this isn't what we want, that's why this less useful area is marked red. I saw many people actually doing this, ending up with a road layout like this:įirst rectangle in green valley with an almost useless narrow stripe at the right Let's try the same we just did in our capital city. I will write similar posts for the other regions later). Now as we know how to build the our layout there, let's transport this to the regions, for example the first rectangle in Green Valley (if you didn't unlock Green Valley yet, don't worry. In a previous post, I described the ground rules for a good road layout and how to apply them to hour capital city. Posts about cheats, exploits or hacks are never allowed. ![]()
It’s what takes Spades from a game of chance to a game of skill! Mastering all the interlocking parts of bidding, communication, and strategy is hugely rewarding. ![]() While high Spades cards are powerhouses, also don‘t underestimate the value of lower pip cards like the 2 or 5 of Hearts for taking tricks in long suit runs.

Just as in poker, the individual cards within each Spades suit are ranked from highest to lowest as follows: Now that we‘ve got the suit ranking down pat, let‘s look at ranking the cards within each suit. So to directly answer our question – no, a Diamond can never beat a Heart in Spades because Hearts outrank Diamonds in the game‘s suit hierarchy. What does this mean in practice? Well, this suit ranking determines which card wins a trick if two different suited cards are played. ![]() Between Hearts, Diamonds, and Clubs – Hearts rank the highest, followed by Diamonds, and finally Clubs. So Spades is always the trump suit, meaning it beats the other three suits. From highest to lowest, the Spades suits rank: The first key to understand is that the four suits in Spades rank differently than in other card games.
