The code is basicly build up like this:

[camera, background etc.]

[make a box]

[make a double while loop which creates shapes to be cut out of the box]

[make the shapes, and move them into position, using the while loop variable
(O, and rotate randomly)]

[end the while loops]

[place a sphere for no reason]

While loops can be used in many ways, i mainly use them to create a large
amount of the same objects (I like doing that, don't know why)

Is that (double while loop) what you mean by "pseudo-code"?
