Fairly Productive Day

I climbed back in the coding saddle and finally started Advent of Code in earnest.
The first challenge is to calculate distance using taxi geometry. To this end, I have drawn heavily from Ryan Bigg's Toy Robot solution in putting together a city grid and defining the behaviour of a city explorer who will follow the instructions.
So far I have the following:
- City grid
- Explorer
- Simulator
I still need to work out the following:
- Receive command line instructions
- Convert the directions from the challenge into command line instructions
If all goes well, I should complete the challenge tomorrow.
Had to skip my exercise in the morning, and also no afternoon tea, but otherwise I made fairly good time.
