===========================================

How to run it

Enter "python c.py" on command line

Basic operations:

1. Enter "i" to insert a new event

-- After entering "i", you will be prompted to enter an event name and date. You can enter the date in any format you like (e.g. 20180114 or 2018/04/26 or 2018-06-15). But be careful that year should come first followed by month and date subsequently.

-- Then you will be prompted to enter a time. You can also enter the time in any format that you like. But hour should come before minute.

2. Enter "d" to delete an old event

-- Enter the name of the event which you want to delete to delete the event.

3. Enter "c" to check the date of a specific event

4. Enter "t" to get a list of things to do tomorrow

5. Enter "o" to get a list of things to do today

6. Enter "weekly" to insert weekly schedules

-- Weekly schedule will be here, always, every week. Follow the instruction to insert the event in a correct format

-- "weekly" is still under development.

7. Enter "l" to get 16 deadline-in-the-ass events

-- In order not to make the screen seem messed. Only most recent 16 events will pop up. (enter "more" to show more)

8. Enter "r" to revise the date of a certain event

9. Press "q" to exit

Advanced Techniques

Three different ways to insert an event:

1. Use "i", as mentioned aboved.

2. Use "map". For example, "map go to gym tomorrow 14:00" will create the event "go to gym" and map it to tomorrow 14:00

3. Use natural language. For example, "I will go to gym tomorrow at 14:00" will do the same thing as above.

Use natural language to get the list of event

for example, "What is my plan today" will be equavalent to "l"

Programmer-friendly input

1. "ls" = "l"

2. rm + <event name> can delete the event quickly

Features to mention

1. This program automatically deletes events that has past its date, because I want to convey the idea of looking forward instead of looking back.

2. If you don't want to calculate the actual date of an event, don't worry! You can use words such as "today", "tomorrow", "Tuesday", etc. to insert events.

3. Don't want to mess the schedule up? Afraid of getting conflict schedule? No worry! If there is another event around the event you are going to insert, the program will throw a warning message. If you insist to insert that event, type "yes". Of course, if you want to be fancy, typing "hell yeah" will also do the work...

4. Will you do something at 2 am or 3 am? Well... probably not. So, when you use the map function and type "map go to Mike's house tomorrow 2:30", it will automatically be interpreted as 14:30 in the afternoon. What if you do want to do something at 2:30 am? Simplly adding a "0" will solve the problem. In other words, "map go to Mike's house tomorrow 02:30".
