I don't know python, but I'm guessing that

[0,1,1,2,2,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3]

is a 12 element array, and

[randint(0,12)]

is an index operation on that array, selecting one of the elements at random.

OK now it all makes sense. That's a neat trick, assigning variable as an item of an ad-hoc array, I didn't know you could do that.

IceCream, it seems like you've already learned quite a few useful things. You at least know:
- how to create a window
- make a 4x4 grid of square buttons
- put circles in the buttons
- randomly place the circles in buttons
That's pretty good going.

Are you in a rush to do this? I mean, if you only have a week left in Japan, could you leave this stuff until you get home and just enjoy your last week there?

re: the code in your post, is the problem that you want the circles to display as soon as the program is run, instead of only after you press the 'new game' button? If so, just hit enter twice after the last 'End Sub' and put 'NewGame()', and that should call the NewGame function without pressing the button. Make sure you put it on the line before 'End Class'.

edit: perhaps I've misunderstood, and the program currently only shows what's in the squares after you click on one/some squares? Whatever the case, to make something that usually only happens when you click a button happen automatically, you need to take it out of the function that's called when you click a button, and just put it in the same place as I mentioned to put 'NewGame()'.

It's pretty hard to guess without the interface. If nobody else chimes in with the answer I'll download VBS this weekend and play with it.

Hooray for not knowing what we're doing!
