Thread: GUI Problem

i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp260/spawnacreature/Opoly.jpg

i need to know how to make the blue boxes, i need to set the size of board to 21.

also how would i get the postions to cycle through and when it reaches the end to say game over in red.
anyhelp would be apreciated
this is what i have so far it works. I have it set up to look like the picture just doesnt do anything

i just dont know what to add, to get the numbers to show up next to the rewards and postion or also the blue squares

and help would be very apreciated.
