2022 Advent of code day 4 part 1 using my visual programming environment

I can’t read the text when I zoom in, so I have no idea what I’m looking at.

Yeah thanks, good point offcourse.. I am working on a svg exporter but it hasn't all the information of the image yet.. I'll see if I can create a larger image

Do connections get created automatically according to property names that match?

No you need to add them manually. Each node receives and sends a payload, this payload is a simple javascript object in this implementation. A node can modify the payload (usually adding properties).. and the payload gets bigger througout the flow. Connections can be seen as "node triggers". Some nodes contain multiple outputs.. these are "events" from within the node and depend on the specific functionality of that node type

Could they be created automatically then? Otherwise it seems redundant not to automate it? Or am I missing something fundamental?

From a UI perspective I can make it easier to add the connection automatically when connecting a node to another node (when dragging a new node on stage this already happens when you move the new node within a certain range of a node on the canvas) but the system cannot guess which node to connect to other nodes by looking at the node properties (this what I thought you meant) or I dont know how yet
