above is my coding, i try to make a box inside the 2d array the can be move around.

what compiler are you using? You could draw a box by using the line-drawing bytes of the ascii character set (the values between 179 and 223). google for "ascii character set" and you will find the table of all possible 255 values and a picture of they they look like when printed (assuming your computer is set up to use ascii character set).

im using quincy 2005, so i need to make the box using code

to do something like this

There's a space between each of the numnbers in that huge square, which leaves room for the |, _ and - characters areound the number in the center.
