You haven't mentioned the slightest thing about what language/environment/etc. you are using, rendering this question impossible to answer. You probably want to ask for help from an instructor for your class, anyway. TPU is aimed at people who code for fun, not at folks looking for quick homework help.

Sounds like simple Java to me. Got your JFrame? Got your JPanel in your JFrame? Just use a couple for loops in the paintComponent method of your panel. That's all I'll say.

CodeRed's response deleted for violating rules about answering homework questions

Oh for the love of god, Psion. Maybe Ill just PM it to him then...

I don't want to rant, but with the way you talk about this website not helping people as much as you'd like it to one would think you would rather give a solution to a problem than dish out complaints about proper posting etiquette. Regardless of whether or not this was a homework problem he would still have learned from my code. Yes, he can learn it in a book or figure it out for himself, but programming is hard enough on beginners as it is, why not throw the newbies a bone once in a while?

Because the proper way to help with a question so basic as that is to determine by a step by step question-and-answer process where exactly he is stuck. This way you help show him the actually problem solving process, which must be unclear for him if he asks so simple a question. You can't do this on a web forum; hence, I recommended talking to a teacher. Often, class policies say that any student caught asking for help on the Internet will be automatically FAILED. This is another thing to worry about.

One should also make some kind of effort before posting a problem on any forums. Nothing show he actually made an effort to solve this problem.

And he doesn't seem to care since he did not post anything back after his first question.
