You could probably port other PICO-8 games the same way that I did this one, by just going through line-by-line and converting from Lua to C++, implementing PICO-8 builtin functions as you go along.

Unfortunately, the functions that I've implemented for CEleste probably won't be directly usable in most other PICO-8 games. I make several assumptions about how tilemaps and palettes are used that will always be true for CEleste but not for other PICO-8 games. My implementations will either break or run extremely slowly if these assumptions aren't valid, which means you would need to re-implement them to use them for other games.

Are there any games in particular that you want to port? Celeste Classic mods and sequels might be fairly easy to port by using my code as a starting point.
