hi 2004hdhdf

Welcome to the forum.

More information needed.

Is each tile different so every change of tile is a new possibility or are we just looking at ways of tessellating the tiles.  If that's the problem can I assume that you could use some rectangular tiles and then fill up with squares with no limit about how many of each are available?
