+# Robot Simulator
+
+Welcome to Robot Simulator on Exercism's Gleam Track.
+If you need help running the tests or submitting your code, check out `HELP.md`.
+
+## Instructions
+
+Write a robot simulator.
+
+A robot factory's test facility needs a program to verify robot movements.
+
+The robots have three possible movements:
+
+- turn right
+- turn left
+- advance
+
+Robots are placed on a hypothetical infinite grid, facing a particular direction (north, east, south, or west) at a set of {x,y} coordinates,
+e.g., {3,8}, with coordinates increasing to the north and east.
+
+The robot then receives a number of instructions, at which point the testing facility verifies the robot's new position, and in which direction it is pointing.
+
+- The letter-string "RAALAL" means:
+  - Turn right
+  - Advance twice
+  - Turn left
+  - Advance once
+  - Turn left yet again
+- Say a robot starts at {7, 3} facing north.
+  Then running this stream of instructions should leave it at {9, 4} facing west.
