How to create a grid for memory tile game?

How to create a grid for memory tile game in MATLAB. The grid should contain random number of rows and number of columns by the choice of the player.

 Accepted Answer

The grid generation is easy:
nrows = 5; % User Input: Number Of Rows
ncols = 7; % User Input: NumberOf Columns
XL = [0 nrows];
YL = [0 ncols];
rowx = repmat([0:ncols], 2, 1);
rowy = [min(XL)*ones(1, ncols+1); max(XL)*ones(1, ncols+1)];
colx = [min(YL)*ones(1, nrows+1); max(YL)*ones(1, nrows+1)];
coly = repmat([0:nrows], 2, 1);
figure(1)
plot(rowx, rowy, 'g')
hold on
plot(colx, coly, 'g')
hold off
axis equal tight

Thank You so much!
But how can I display numbers on the tiles so that it displays two similar numbers? Here's my code but it didn't work out with me
A = randi(numRows,numCols);
nums = randperm((numRows*numCols)/2);
Could you please check what's the error with my code?
Thanks

My pleasure!
Using the randi function is definitely the way to go, so that is the correct choice. I took it a bit further. (Note that you have to have the strsplit function to make my code work. If you don’t have it, there is a workaround with a for loop.)
This works:
nrows = 5; % User Input: Number Of Rows
ncols = 7; % User Input: NumberOf Columns
XL = [0 nrows];
YL = [0 ncols];
rowx = repmat([0:ncols], 2, 1);
rowy = [min(XL)*ones(1, ncols+1); max(XL)*ones(1, ncols+1)];
colx = [min(YL)*ones(1, nrows+1); max(YL)*ones(1, nrows+1)];
coly = repmat([0:nrows], 2, 1);
figure(1)
plot(rowx, rowy, 'g')
hold on
plot(colx, coly, 'g')
hold off
axis equal tight
N = randi(nrows*ncols, 1, nrows*ncols);
Ns = strsplit(sprintf('%2d\n', N));
Ns = Ns(1:end-1);
xmat = repmat([1:ncols], 1, nrows)-0.5;
ymat = repmat([1:nrows], 1, ncols)-0.5;
text(xmat, ymat, Ns, 'HorizontalAlignment','center', 'VerticalAlignment','middle')
