 =====powers of two base math=====
 Base 2^1 is 2 2^2 is 4 2^3 is 8 and so on and so forth.
+Along with the conversions game mode, other modes should include addition, subtraction, and multiplication. These should all be in the same base already, as a conversion on top of that would be hectic.
 =====powers of two base conversions=====
+For powers of two base conversion, or any type of conversions in bash scripts, it would behoove one to make use of the ibase / obase commands. With them, they can make the conversions of numbers for you. This is helpful for generating prompts and keys alike.
+The goal of the conversions game mode should be for the player to be prompted with a number in one base, and be instructed to find the answer in another base (also prompted).
+Can use shuf -i alongside an array to randomly generate a base
 =====checking time=====
 By using "date  +%r" in the command line you can get the current time which you can use later.
+date +%r will give you the time in this format: HH:MM:SS AM/PM
+date +%s will give you the time in seconds since the Unix epoch. If you want to use date +%s to get the current minutes, you can divide the output of date +%s by 60; if you want to use date +%s to get the current seconds, you can use the modulus operation (%60).
