The Aquarius⁺ was designed from the ground up to allow programmers of all skill levels to create fun, useful, and engaging content.

As the native development environment for the Aquarius⁺, plusBASIC is backwards-compatible with legacy Aquarius and Extended BASIC and adds dozens of new commands and keywords to unlock the enhanced features of the system:

• plusBASIC QuickRef (Auto-Generated)
• plusBASIC Programmer's Reference Guide
• plusBASIC Tutorials
• plusBASIC Statement and Function Types
• plusBASIC Error Messages
• plusBASIC Glossary of Terms
• plusBASIC Optimization Examples

Due to it's flexibility and speed, C development on the Aquarius⁺ is the natural progression up from plusBASIC. As such, there are different paths a developer can take to begin coding in C on the system:

• Aquarius DevStudio - AQDS serves as an on-system development environment for the Aquarius⁺, and uses a modified version of C known as Cb (C flat).
• SDCC - SDCC is an off-system development enviroment that uses the C language and the SDCC compiler.
  • SDCC on MacOS
  • SDCC on Windows
  • SDCC Project makefiles
