I would love to but don't have time. Here's a start though:

Create a grid of 10x20 squares.

Dim grid(10, 20)

It's automatically filled in with zeros. To place a block in any given location just enter a 1 (or you could even enter a 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 etc. to represent different colors).

grid(1,20) = 1
grid(2,20) = 3

Now to draw this to the screen you just use a For...Next loop.

For yiter = 1 to 20
  For xiter = 1 to 10
    If grid(xiter, yiter) > 0
      Rect xiter*40, yiter*40, 39, 39
    EndIf
  Next
Next

Try to figure out where to go from there...
