Material Calculator

Alright, now this is probably going to be completely useless but maybe someone can do something with it.

So I was reading N league and Nicky was talking about having 966. This made be wonder what combinations of materials cost $34. So I came up with this

Ironically, it didn't help at all to solve the level :P
Although I'm pretty sure it's 1 $12 Clothes / 1 Bars / 2 $6 Ropes

Here's an idea: calculate what could possibly be made. Say someone spent $38 on the N-league rail level. You put that, along with the fact that the level type is a rail (or you could say "uses railcar") and it would find the possible sleds made (yes you'd have to program the possibilities in) and come up with a $28 dollar sled and $10 left - bingo! ten dollars is the cost of:

minimum rope + 2 extra nodes
OR
Metal Bar

so you could narrow down what things could be stuck where.

I can write program on C++ that will show all "good" combinations of materials for some cost. It will be really very easy, just some "dynamic programming".
