Bruce MacDonald<p>Go ahead. Take a look at the source code of Bill Atkinson's MacPaint and QuickDraw.</p><p>'MacPaint was written by Bill Atkinson, who was a member of the original Macintosh development team. He based it on his earlier LisaSketch (also called SketchPad) for the unsuccessful Apple Lisa computer, so he originally called it MacSketch. He started work on the Mac version in early 1983.</p><p>'Atkinson also created Quickdraw first for the Lisa, as LisaGraf. Andy Hertzfeld, another key member of the team, considers QuickDraw “the single most significant component of the original Macintosh technology” in its ability to “push pixels around in the frame buffer at blinding speeds to create the celebrated user interface.”'</p><p><a href="https://computerhistory.org/blog/macpaint-and-quickdraw-source-code/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">computerhistory.org/blog/macpa</span><span class="invisible">int-and-quickdraw-source-code/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/MeaningfulLabor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MeaningfulLabor</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ComputerHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ComputerHistory</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/QuickDraw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>QuickDraw</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/MacPaint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MacPaint</span></a></p>
