Ah teachers, you gotta love them! High on a power trip. Drunk on tenure. Most of which are overpaid and under-worked. Can't work with them, can't fire them! "HAY, TEACH-AH!

Develop what kind of program exactly? You see, usually you want to explain the details of your problem *before* you ask a question in relation to that problem, *ESPECIALLY* in the case of a generic question! How do you expect us to provide an answer? I mean, heck, even when faced with a post more riddled with more expletives than a prostitute has STD's, we can usually deduce the context of "it", however, in this case your just plain obfuscating!

Easy. Pick up Tkinter and learn how to: 1. Display a window. 2. Display a button and associate a block of code to be called when the button is pressed. 3. Learn how to create a menu and attach it to a topwindow. Then add command and associate actions with those commands. 4. Display a canvas, then insert images in the canvas, then manipulate them. Manipulation will require input from the user, which involves either dialogs(easy) or interactive modifications(difficult) PS: What the hell is a "side menu"?
