TIS-100 Level: Number Base Converter

-- The function get_name() should return a single string that is the name of the puzzle.
--
function get_name()
	return "NUMBER BASE CONVERTER"
end

-- The function get_description() should return an array of strings, where each string is
-- a line of description for the puzzle. The text you return from get_description() will
-- be automatically formatted and wrapped to fit inside the puzzle information box.
--
function get_description()
	return { "READ BASE 10 NUMBER FROM IN.A",
			 "READ BASE FROM IN.B",
			 "CONVERT NUMBER TO PROVIDED BASE",
			 "WRITE CONVERTED NUMBER TO OUT"}
end

-- The function get_streams() should return an array of streams. Each stream is described
-- by an array with exactly four values: a STREAM_* value, a name, a position, and an array
-- of integer values between -999 and 999 inclusive.
--
-- STREAM_INPUT: An input stream containing up to 39 numerical values.
-- STREAM_OUTPUT: An output stream containing up to 39 numerical values.
-- STREAM_IMAGE: An image output stream, containing exactly 30*18 numerical values between 0
--               and 4, representing the full set of "pixels" for the target image.
--
-- NOTE: Arrays in Lua are implemented as tables (dictionaries) with integer keys that start
--       at 1 by convention. The sample code below creates an input array of 39 random values
--       and an output array that doubles all of the input values.
--
-- NOTE: To generate random values you should use math.random(). However, you SHOULD NOT seed
--       the random number generator with a new seed value, as that is how TIS-100 ensures that
--       the first test run is consistent for all users, and thus something that allows for the
--       comparison of cycle scores.
--
-- NOTE: Position values for streams should be between 0 and 3, which correspond to the far
--       left and far right of the TIS-100 segment grid. Input streams will be automatically
--       placed on the top, while output and image streams will be placed on the bottom.
--
function get_streams()
	input_vals = {}
	input_bases = {}
	output = {}

	for i = 1,39 do
		input_bases[i] = math.random(2, 10)
		-- max val below based on highest displayable in this number base
		input_vals[i] = math.random(1, (input_bases[i] ^ 3) - 1)

		-- convert random number to provided base
		out_string = ""
		num = input_vals[i]
		base = input_bases[i]
		while num ~= 0 do
			remainder = tostring(num % base)
			num = math.floor(num / base)
			out_string = remainder .. out_string
		end
		output[i] = tonumber(out_string)
	end
	return {
		{ STREAM_INPUT, "IN.A", 1, input_vals },
		{ STREAM_INPUT, "IN.B", 2, input_bases },
		{ STREAM_OUTPUT, "OUT", 2, output },
	}
end

-- The function get_layout() should return an array of exactly 12 TILE_* values, which
-- describe the layout and type of tiles found in the puzzle.
--
-- TILE_COMPUTE: A basic execution node (node type T21).
-- TILE_MEMORY: A stack memory node (node type T30).
-- TILE_DAMAGED: A damaged execution node, which acts as an obstacle.
--
function get_layout()
	return {
		TILE_COMPUTE, 	TILE_COMPUTE, 	TILE_COMPUTE, 	TILE_COMPUTE,
		TILE_COMPUTE, 	TILE_COMPUTE,	TILE_COMPUTE, 	TILE_COMPUTE,
		TILE_COMPUTE, 	TILE_COMPUTE,	TILE_COMPUTE, 	TILE_COMPUTE,
	}
