Discussion
This is currently a "half-baked" example of how you could write
your own custom program to read a unique data format and output
draw instructions.
As written this reads two specific .speck files but it is not
robust enough to handle all .speck files, partly because I
don't have complete documentation on the file format nor
data files to test against.
Input format examples:
0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.650 0.89130 4.85 -26.72 1 0.00 0 0.000 0 # Sun
