const fs = require('fs');
const illustrator = require('roller-coaster-challenge-illustrator');

// Load the track to a JavaScript object
const track = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('track01.json', 'utf8'));
// Generate a SVG string from the track
const svgString = illustrator.drawChallenge({track});
// Save the SVG string to a file
fs.writeFileSync('test.svg', drawChallenge({track}), 'utf8');
