A game engine is a program that has blank worlds, pieces, and character models. It's the equivalent of an empty stage or empty film set. The game designers fill it with backgrounds, objects, and characters. The game engine also has some basic physics built in, so if two objects bump into each other they will behave in a certain way.

Starbucks is especially concentrated in larger towns and cities, while subway seems to have expanded to more remote towns while still maintaining a presence in cities.

Reply to eli5 why is 9 the last number? and why then we use 10 and repeat in sets of 10? by anujshr7
The ancient Greeks likes 12, medieval Europe liked 20, and computers like 2. Any of them are as valid as the others, but as a society we ended up at 10. I would guess having 10 fingers had a lot to do with it.

Equity is the value of your home. For most people, that means the amount of money they could potentially get by either selling their house or using it as collateral for a loan.
