+This second post of the series leaves for a moment the creational patterns and speaks about one of the most important structural pattern: the Adapter.
 
 The purpose of an adapter is "to convert the interface of a class into another interface clients expect. Adapter lets classes work together that couldn't otherwise because of incompatible interfaces."

 How can see, the method play_game of a PalConsole will call the _play_ method of the game, the NtscConsole instead will invoke the _run_ method.

 We see at this point some alternatives to further exploit the potential of Ruby.

 As we can see, we've added at runtime the method _play_ for a NtscGame game.
 
 The above code produces the following output:

 I am the NTSC version of Double Dragon and I am running!
 
 Note however that with this solution we added the _play_ method to the entire class NtscGame. All instances that are created will be equipped with the _play_ method.
-This type of action is very risky because it could not guarantee compatibility with other libraries because of name clash.

 Another alternative would be to use the "singleton classes".
 Ruby makes it possible to change a single instance of a class, by creating an anonymous class as its superclass that implements the new defined method.
 
-There are several possibilities to implement these singleton classes. We see in the following snippet some implementations.

+Questo secondo post della serie abbandona momentaneamente i creational patterns e tratta uno degli structural pattern più importanti: l'Adapter.
 
 Lo scopo di un adapter è quello di convertire l'interfaccia di una classe in una richiesta dall'oggetto client.
 Grazie ad un adapter è quindi possibile far interagire due classi dotate di interfacce tra loro incompatibili.
