Default The Lazy Spring

I like The Deadly Spring (Pyr#3-33. Author: Douglas H Cole) but I also like to take the simple route.

Has anyone put the formulae into a program? For example, to give the stats of a bow (and arrow/bolt), given TL# and ST##, with option for lowest cost, best range or highest damage, leaving the code to decide the secondary numbers.**

I'd do it but first I'd need to re-learn how to program* and I'd rather spend the time grinding the numbers in a spreadsheet, although, that's a Lot of grinding:)

*my Basic from 30yrs ago at best allows an improved default.
**it'd also need an option to limit materials.

The spreadsheet is the closest to that I've seen. If you're using Excel, have you tried using the Analysis toolpack? There's some useful little functions in there. I don't think it'll cope with swapping out materials for you, but frankly you should pick those up front and not fiddle with them (When in doubt, use yew for low TL ;)

Thank you, Bruno, that may be the solution I need.
Did the MOS Excel course but know there's a lot of excel I don't use. cf brain use.
