Impressive! This doesn't look like it was easy to figure out. I reviewed all four patches. Despite some custom stuff on most of these, they all look well commented and sensible. I say push it! - Christine

Small correction: The thing I saw that used Racket to create WebAssembly output doesn't actually run on WASM-4, it just kinda looked like it did. Oops! It's still very cool! https://github.com/euhmeuh/wasm-adventure > > Packaging this thing was not exactly straightforward due to dependency > > bundling via git submodules, but I was able to unbundle everything. > > Impressive!

Thanks for the review! I found a typo in the description field of cubeb that I've fixed, and I added some additional comments explaining the minifb build customizations. I pushed the patches with those changes! - Dave
