Show HN: ToyWithRaylib, compile and run raylib games on the browser

Some months ago, I created https://toywithraylib.com/, a little project that uses emception (https://github.com/jprendes/emception) It allows you to build and run raylib projects entiretly on the browser (It is compiled and run entirely locally!) It has raylib 5.6, rlImGui and box2d included! It can be used to run any C++ project, allowing configuring the build options using python (which also runs entirely in the website) Once you are finished testing, you can download the code or download the game in order to share, which will be stored in a single-file HTML file, it also has basic link-sharing capabilities but I don't expect them to work with large examples since it is url-based. The project is opensourced, I just wanted to hack it to get it working, but if somebody wants to improve it or fork it, is more than welcomed to do so :) Proj

Here are some more ports of LLVM and clang to wasm/the browser: * https://github.com/kripken/llvm-js * https://github.com/tbfleming/cib * https://github.com/jprendes/emception LLVM just does pure computation, really, so it's not hard to port to wasm - much simpler than say Python (which has also been ported several times). The only challenges with LLVM are the build system (which has self-execution), working around some issues like clang wanting to open a subprocess, and adding some ifdefs.
