 =====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).
