Well, I can't read Ninja but this should help you get started. I became interested in Renko bars awhile back and wrote several TS scripts. BTW, you do know that you can set TOS to display Renko bars? STYLE>>AGGREGATION>>RANGE, then go back and STYLE>>SETTINGS>>TIME_AXIS>>RANGE_TYPE>>RENKO_BARS.

Code

#RENKO HILO 1 CANDLE (combo 2 CANDLES h-h and l-l)
declare lower;
input renkosizeup = .0005;
input renkosizedown = .0005;
input renkoHIGHrange = 1;
input renkoLOWrange = 2;
def renko1 = high-low[renkoLOWrange]>=renkosizeup;
def renko1a = high-low[renkoLOWrange]>=renkosizeup AND 
high[renkoHIGHrange]-low[renkoLOWrange]>=renkosizeup;
def renko2 = low[renkoLOWrange]-high>=renkosizedown;
def renko2a = low[renkoLOWrange]-high>=renkosizedown AND
low[renkoLOWrange]-high[renkoHIGHrange]<=renkosizedown;;

plot Above = renko1a;
Above.SetDefaultColor(Color.UPTICK);
Above.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_UP);

plot Below = renko2a;
Below.SetDefaultColor(Color.DOWNTICK);
BELOW.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_DOWN);
plot zeroline = 0;

my "renkosizeup" and "renkosizedown" .0005 input settings are for forex. if you trade something else, you might want more convenient default settings. The above code won't display bricks but the advantage is that you'll be able to see price/time on the chart and in the lower study (arrows) detect bricks forming. Best of both worlds, I think.

You have to Give it up, TOS doesn't support custom chart type.
