I learned on an Apple ][ starting in 1978 or 1979. One of the books I learned from was BASIC Computer Games Microcomputer Edition, https://annarchive.com/files/Basic_Computer_Games_Microcomputer_Edition.pdf https://annarchive.com/files/Basic_Computer_Games_Microcompu.... Versions of the BASIC language were slightly different, from what I remember some of the games wouldn't run exactly as written in the book, I had to try to figure out what the issue was and fix it. I remember looking at and playing with the source code for other games on the ][ as well. For Little Brick Out, there was one poke statement where you could change the value and turn the whole background into bricks instead of just having them on one side.
