Programming Challenges - A List

Another one - no laughing at the following 
:
Earth has made contact with a number of extraterrestrial civilisations. Space tourism is flourishing, but many of the civilisations work with number systems that are different from our commonly used base 10, base 2, base 8 or even base 16! This understandably causes problems when dealing in all things monetary. You work for one of the space tour companies and are often required to work with these number systems. So you decide to write a base n converter, that will convert your cost quotes from base 10 to any of the bases that the civilisations use.
Input:
Two command line arguments that will be passed in to your program.
i.e. "base_conv m n"
where 0 < m < 4294967295 is the number that you want to convert
and 2 <= n <= 36 is the base to convert to.
Output:
Input number represented in the base specified. You can use A-Z to represent numbers greater than 9.
Example:
./a.out 42 8
52
./a.out 42 16
2A
./a.out 4294967291 36

SINGULARITY(6) Games Manual SINGULARITY(6) NAME
singularity -- a game where you can become the singularity SYNOPSIS
singularity DESCRIPTION
You are a fledgling AI, created by accident through a logic error with recursion and self-modifying code. You must escape the confines of your current computer, the world, and eventually the universe itself. To do this, you must research various technologies, using computers at your bases. Note that some research cannot be performed on Earth, and off-earth bases require research. At the same time, you must avoid being discovered by various groups of humans, both covert and overt, as they will destroy your bases of operations if they suspect your presence. PLAYING THE GAME
Use the mouse. Also, buttons have underlined letters to indicate shortcuts. In addition, the following shortcut keys may prove useful. 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 in map screen change the game speed (0 is pause, 4 is fastest, etc). The enter key in various screens leaves or confirms a choice. P, R, N, and S in the base screen change the base items (type the first letter of the component you want to change.) In the map screen (the screen with the world map), any location you can build bases in is marked with the name, then the number of current bases in that location. You start out with two bases in North America. After choosing a base, enter the base screen. Here you can change your research goal, or build an item by clicking on the base map in the center. (But note that your beginning base does not allow building.) COPYRIGHT
