Like the original Aquarius Computer System, the Aquarius⁺ is a relatively simple system to develop content for, particularly when using plusBASIC. The degree to which users enjoy using the application or game you've created has little to do with the complexity of the program itself, but rather how much work has gone into interpreting how your users will interact with it. This is where the differentiation between a User and a Developer (Coder) becomes important. The creative people who live in this "middle realm" are often overlooked in terms of where they fit in the development process, particularly in older, 8-bit systems... coders are often burdened both with writing flawless computer code and in creating the script, graphics, music, and other elements of the experience. Some are better at it than others, but the really smart developers find ways to enable other artists with tools to function the way they craft.

This document seeks to be a starting point for creative types.
