Basically, what most games do is repeat one or more loops to get everything done (with routines and stuff).
btw you better make your questions more closed. (like "how do i code feature x as seen in game y")

In a modern programming language, you have a display routine that draws stuff to the screen. (for example called
void draw{ }
). This routine is called every frame.

Yeah, its a routine that does display stuff. Like displaying pictures or text.

but how does it detect that a pictures collides with another picture and that the other picture needs to move.
lets say, user, bumps against a box and box needs to move.
what i think you do:
do you code that if that picture is within this area of this picture than this will happen?
is this true?
and whats maa more efficient way to do this?

It does not. It's got coordinates of both things and checks if they are close enough if so, move the box.

All modern programming languages can read jpg. (png is used more)
And they "store" those pictures by telling the program that "this file is a picture"

so it calls a img everytime ok.
how does it get continuously the "keys" of movement?
all i have worked up till now is the input command but it will wait till something is inputted and after that it would continue.
This would be no plausible solution to use right?
how do we do it now?

Programs take keycodes. Every key on a keyboard has a different signal. The program reads the signal every loop and just continues when there's no key pressed.

All games come down to the basic game life cycle. I recommend watching
this video
. Though it's for XNA (.NET) and not Python, it gives a pretty detailed overview and explanation of the life cycle.

lets say pong, how do you let the ball move from direction?
or better said how do you move a object without user input.
