The framebuffer idea is used in this wasm doom port: https://github.com/diekmann/wasm-fizzbuzz/tree/main/doom WASIX already does all the other stuff you mentioned, including in the browser. The one thing it's missing is GUI, mainly because there's no standard GUI interface in POSIX.

I love seeing this kind of tutorial, that isn't just a step-by-step guide, but also an exploration of the thought process and trial-and-error that goes on in crafting each step, so thanks for sharing. Looks like a lot of the work on the Doom port (https://github.com/diekmann/wasm-fizzbuzz/tree/main/doom) is about getting common functions from the C standard library to work in WASM. Surely this seems like a good opportunity for a new Free Software initiative - something optimized, properly licensed/credited and easy for everybody to use?
