Intro:
Over the summer I made a little program which build hundreds of virtual gates per second, so with a large sample I am able to accurately determine the cost of any gate given the number of parts. Many thanks to [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] for helping me with my first project. I hope this is useful in terms of planning for a few of you.

Written in C#, you can copy/paste this directly into a console application, if you want- although it's just a bunch of nested loops :P

Assumptions:
- Each spin has a chance of 13% to hit a part/multiplier (although when you spin with a full nano, it may be between 13-17, I do not know how much it actually is, depends on how BP programmed it. i.e the extra 4% might become ammo straight away).
- That the cheapest method of building gates is to use multipliers straight away (x2) until it gets up to 6 parts away from being completed and then it will hit the multiplier.This program spins 1 spin at a time.
- That my random number generation is truly random, I used a cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator which I believe is 'random enough'.
