dw 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 ; task3 regs


current: db 0 ; index of current task


chars: db '\|/-' ; shapes to form a bar


; first task to be multitasked

taskone: mov al, [chars+bx] ; read the next shape
mov [es:0], al ; write at top left of screen
inc bx ; increment to next shape
and bx, 3 ; taking modulus by 4
jmp taskone ; infinite task


; second task to be multitasked

tasktwo: mov al, [chars+bx] ; read the next shape
mov [es:158], al ; write at top right of screen
inc bx ; increment to next shape
and bx, 3 ; taking modulus by 4
jmp tasktwo ; infinite task


; third task to be multitasked

taskthree: mov al, [chars+bx] ; read the next shape
mov [es:80], al ; write at middle of screen
inc bx ; increment to next shape
and bx, 3 ; taking modulus by 4
jmp taskthr ; infinite task




; timer interrupt service routine


timer: push ax
push bx
mov bl, [cs:current] ; read index of current task
mov ax, 10 ; space used by one task
mul bl ; multiply to get start of task

pop ax ; read original value of flags
mov [cs:taskstates+bx+8], ax ; space for current task
inc byte [cs:current] ; update current task index
cmp byte [cs:current], 4 ; is task index out of range
jne skipreset ; no, proceed
mov byte [cs:current], 0 ; yes, reset to task 0


skipreset: mov bl, [cs:current] ; read index of current task
mov ax, 10 ; space used by one task
