A console-based Reminder Application written in x86 Assembly Language (MASM32) for the 3rd Semester Computer Organization and Assembly Language (COAL) course.
This project is a lightweight reminder tool that runs in the Windows console. It demonstrates low-level programming concepts including memory management, array manipulation, system time retrieval, and Windows API calls.
The application operates in two main modes:
- User Mode: Allows users to interactively add new reminders and view the list of upcoming reminders.
- Trigger Mode: Runs a background loop that continuously checks the system time against set reminders. When a match is found, it triggers a system alert (MessageBox).
- Add Reminders: Set custom reminders with a Title, Date (DD-MM-YYYY), and Time (HH:MM).
- View Reminders: Display a formatted list of all active reminders.
- Background Alert System: A dedicated mode that monitors time and pops up a Windows Message Box when a reminder is due.
- Sample Data: Pre-loaded with sample reminders for demonstration.
- Input Validation: Basic validation for menu selection.
- Language: x86 Assembly (MASM32)
- Libraries:
Irvine32.inc(for simplified I/O and standard library functions) - Platform: Windows (x86)
- Visual Studio (with C++ and MASM support) OR MASM32 SDK.
- Irvine32 Library: Ensure the Irvine library is linked and configured in your project settings.
A pre-compiled executable is available in the repository for direct use on Windows:
- Main Menu: Choose "Main/User Mode" to manage reminders.
- Add Reminder: Enter the details as prompted.
