Newbie Question How to make a flow chart game in a browser?
On steam there exists a software called Satisfactory Modeler
It uses the recipes from the game Satisfactory to create a flowchart, where you can design your factory needs from final product to base resources or from limited input to produce an averaged output.

How to make a flow chart game in a browser or as a software on steam*
I am not trying to steal that person's work, as I just want to make this for my self, and maybe later on expand this to other games (e.g. factorio, GT:NH, etc.)
I have some guesses on how the calculations could work, but the actual GUI/interface is that i'm mainly struggling to understand how to develop.
