Almost There

Hey Guys,

I have almost have a basic prototype of the gameplay I want for this game. However, I have ran into some problems. I have got the blocks to fall from the screen and stop at the bottom of the playing field. However, the color of the blocks should appear of different colors randomly, all the blocks are yellow. Also, How can I get the blocks to stay inside of the selector? And one last step, How would I do it, so that when the user presses a key, the blocks switch sides? I know how to program input from a controller, I just need the code or an example of how I would switch the two block positions. Here is the code. Thanks for any help.
