Create Object With Array Table - lua

Question

I try to make several panel objects on my form in Cheat Engine using CE Lua script. How do this in the correct way?.
local bricks = {}
local brickWidth = 70
local brickHeight = 25
local brickRows = 6
local brickColumns = 6
local rleft = 5
local rtop = 5
local cleft = 5
local ctop = 10
for row = 0, brickRows do
for column = 0, brickColumns do
bricks[row] = createPanel(gameMain)
bricks[row].Width = brickWidth
bricks[row].Height = brickHeight
bricks[row].Top = rtop
bricks[row].Left = rleft
bricks[row].Color = math.random(10,65255)
rleft = rleft + brickWidth + 5
bricks[column] = createPanel(gameMain)
bricks[column].Width = brickWidth
bricks[column].Height = brickHeight
bricks[column].Left = cleft
bricks[column].Top = brickHeight + 5
bricks[column].Color = math.random(10,65255)
ctop = ctop + brickHeight + 5
end
end
But it fails. What I want is for each row and column will contain 6 panels.
How to write the correct script?. Thank you

Create a table that will contain all bricks.
Create 1 table per row
Create and add 1 brick per column into each row
Simply use the loop counters to calculate the offsets.
Maybe you should solve such problems with pen and paper first.
local rows, cols = 6, 6
local width, height = 70, 25
local gap = 5
local bricks = {}
for row = 1, rows do
bricks[row] = {}
for col = 1, cols do
local x = (col - 1) * (width + gap) -- x offset
local y = (row - 1) * (height + gap) -- y offset
local newBrick = createPanel(gameMain)
-- assign brick's properties
-- ...
bricks[row][col] = newBrick
end
end
