new to programming here. i am reading SICP right now and have seen a couple of MIT videos on python but i was just curious if anyone could give me an example of how a program is written. as in the actual process beginning to end. it kinda boggles me that its all math and simple equation but i would love to understand it. thank you.

You know that little tank game you programmed? If you add in another element, say enemies, and you've made asteroids. Add in scrolling and you have a schmup. You can program almost anything like this. Hacking on elements in succession to one another is how almost everyone learned how to program.
Sussman did not learn this way, Sussman stuck his dick into a computer and made it his bitch(this process is also known as SICP).
