Apple has donated the source code of the original MacPaint and QuickDraw of 1984
to the Computer History museum, and you can download it and read about it here:

I just gleaned over it, but quite interesting.
Also nostalgic since the first couple years of real programming that I did was
in Pascal on the black-and-white Mac, so I recognize some of the details in here.
