A minimal working Rust / SDL2 / WASM browser game
https://github.com/parasyte/pixels
That gives you a simple software framebuffer, and it builds as a native app or for the web.

How do rust gui frameworks avoid rerendering?
On a more recent machine, that same (well, more primitive) app with pixels or softbuffer struggled beyond acceptable. But was definitely poorly written.

Announcing lavagna v2, a collaborative blackboard made with bevy and WebRTC
I’ve ported the application from being based on pixels crate to the powerful bevy game engine

placing pixels
Well, it depends on how you use it; writing to an image buffer isn't much less efficient than writing to any normal buffer (in fact, although displaying your scene to a window efficiently is important, your main bottleneck will be the actual ray tracing loop). You may want to read this article for a practical example of using an ImageBuffer to create and draw a texture with Piston. Other window backends you could use, apart from pixels which was already mentioned in another comment, include minifb and Mini GL, though I haven't personally used them.

Considerations for Power Draw with egui
You can use wgpu instead of opengl as in the pixels example: https://github.com/parasyte/pixels/tree/main/examples/minimal-fltk

Is Macroquad suitable for making games like Wolfenstein RPG?
It might be possible but with a raycaster you probably want to be able to easily set all pixels and create your own small engine. Something like the pixels crate should fit your purpose: https://github.com/parasyte/pixels

I love rust, I have a pet peeve with the community
The reality is that I have used unsafe that is also unsound out of convenience because fixing it is a papercut too many. And this tends to be common! I know enough to spot unsoundness in other projects (sometimes even early). But not enough to be confident in my own abilities to write sound unsafe code. Why? Because it's really flipping hard, that's why!

[WGPU][GLFW][HELP]
Also, if you just want to get-things-done, then https://github.com/parasyte/pixels might be a bit better, to avoid reinventing the wheel.

How to prevent performance drops affecting my Game Boy emulator when running on M1/M2 Macs?
However, I recently got a new M2 Macbook Air and started noticing some super weird behavior. While playing Pokemon Silver with an unlocked framerate, I'd notice that the game would slow down to below 60FPS, even on a release build. After printing a little debugging info I found the culprit in the rendering logic which was handled by the MiniFB crate. At first I thought switching to a GPU renderer (such as https://github.com/parasyte/pixels) would help, and it... kinda did?

Simple way to draw a pixel at coordinates
pixels uses wgpu and runs fine.

New to Game Dev
Another great option is ggez or, better yet, https://github.com/ggez/good-web-game which is a reimplementation of ggez on more extensible tech (and it runs on web and mobile too)
-
Bevy as ggez replacement for text adventure?
You can target web using ggez via good-web-game https://github.com/ggez/good-web-game

Is there a way to use piston with wasm?
Good Web Game engine that is an implementation of a web compatible subset of the ggez game engine constructed on top of miniquad.
-
Rust alternative for PyGame ?
And, there's a WIP ggez fork built on top of miniquad that targets wasm, android and iOS (but iOS is untested), https://github.com/ggez/good-web-game
-
status of wasm32 support in existing game frameworks/engines
Good Web Game: This is a subset of the ggez game engine in browsers. For example, the game 'Dig Escape' was made in ggez at the start and was then ported to work on the browser using this engine.
-
ggez 0.7.0 released!
the ggez api takes a lot of inspiration from love2d but it doesn't support mobile yet. there's a mobile compatible implementation called good-web-game though
- good-web-game (ggez in browsers) v0.6
- Minimal graphics crate for Rust
