 * Description:
 *
 *          This class is the client facing app or starting point of the entire program.
 *          It sets up a simple JFrame GUI with which the client can define what size map they wish to create.
 *          It also allows the renderer of the map to be changed.
 *          #  ConsoleRenderer will print out a console representation of the map using ASCII chars
 *          #  SwingRenderer will display the map in a JFrame with colours
 *          #  OrientationRenderer displays the map using numbers to decide the
 *
