Interactive PIN Verification System in Assembly

This repository contains an assembly language project that creates an interactive PIN verification system. The program sets up a screen with a graphical border, prompts the user to enter a 4-digit PIN, and then verifies it against a predefined PIN.

Features

• Graphical Interface: Sets up a screen with a colored border and background.
• PIN Entry: Prompts the user to enter a 4-digit PIN, with each digit masked as an asterisk.
• PIN Verification: Compares the entered PIN against a predefined PIN and displays a success or failure message.

Code Snippets

Screen Setup

The program sets the video mode to 80x25 and clears the screen with a specified background and text color.

MOV AH, 00H       ; Service to set video mode
MOV AL, 02H       ; 80x25 text mode
INT 10H

MOV AH, 06H       ; Scroll up function to clear screen
MOV AL, 00H       ; Clear entire screen
MOV BH, 003H      ; Attribute: background black, text blue
MOV CX, 00H       ; Starting position
MOV DH, 24        ; Ending row
MOV DL, 79        ; Ending column
INT 10H

Border Drawing

The program draws a border of asterisks around the screen.

MOV AL, CLAVE[1]
CMP AL, NIP2
JNE DIFERENTES

MOV AL, CLAVE[2]
CMP AL, NIP3
JNE DIFERENTES

MOV AL, CLAVE[3]
CMP AL, NIP4
JNE DIFERENTES

; Success message
MOV BH, 0
MOV AH, 19
MOV CX, 18
MOV DH, 13
MOV DL, 29
