Assign each color an integer, then have an action to set an integer to a random integer between 1 and 4 or whatever you want.

Set Nextcolor = Random Integer between 1 and 4
If NextColor equal to 1 then do whatever for Red
If NextColor equal to 2 then do whatever for Yellow
If NextColor equal to 3 then do whatever for Blue
If NextColor equal to 4 then do whatever for Green

That's what I'm doing but the problem is the rounds..

For example is I want it so that it will add another color every time.

here are the 5 colors

red blue yellow teal purple

here is what lights up
red, blue
so the person steps on red and blue
than red , blue , red
so the person steps on red blue red
than
red , blue , red , yellow
the person steps on those
I want it so its always random
and if they hit the wrong one they lose
i forgot what the game was called but i played it like 6 years ago when i was 9

There are various names for it, but one of the most popular was called Simon.

I'm not sure what the problem here is. I already told you how to make it random. Just use an array to keep the pattern stored in and increase it's index each round.
