So "and."
But yea, I think it's easier to break them down. Which game are you working on? I remember doing one with "nor" a long time ago...

Re: nor
I didn;t read anything other than the OP, but when doing LG and you see a nor just remember "not AND not" or "not A AND not B". If someone else said this sorry.

Re: nor
This is how I do it.Destined wrote:northwood wrote:im having a brain fart right now on lg
when i see nor, as in if w is selected, neither h nor z is selected, would i diagram nor as a not or
or is it and?
I keep it as one:
W> -H AND -Z
H OR Z > -W

Re: nor
this same problem happened to me. i know this has already been answered but the reason they use nor, which can make you think 'or', is because in english grammar, when using "neither" in a sentence, you are saying not the first object and not the second object are behaving in a certain way. The nouns/pronouns are in agreement with one another. so they are in agreement with each other in the negative sense.
Neither Topaz nor Emerald are selected. (Topaz isn't selected. Emerald isn't selected.)
Correct: -T and -E
Incorrect: -T or -E.
By diagramming it as 'or' you leave yourself vulnerable to believing that only one of the two is not selected. you have to make sure you get that neither is.
