/**
 * Randomizes the indexes of a rectangular region of tiles (in tile coordinates) within the
 * specified layer. Each tile will recieve a new index. New indexes are drawn from the given
 * weightedIndexes array. An example weighted array:
 *
 * [
 *  { index: 6, weight: 4 },    // Probability of index 6 is 4 / 8
 *  { index: 7, weight: 2 },    // Probability of index 7 would be 2 / 8
 *  { index: 8, weight: 1.5 },  // Probability of index 8 would be 1.5 / 8
 *  { index: 26, weight: 0.5 }  // Probability of index 27 would be 0.5 / 8
 * ]
 *
 * The probability of any index being choose is (the index's weight) / (sum of all weights). This
 * method only modifies tile indexes and does not change collisioninformation.
 *
 * @param {integer} [tileX=0] - [description]
 * @param {integer} [tileY=0] - [description]
 * @param {integer} [width=max width based on tileX] - [description]
 * @param {integer} [height=max height based on tileY] - [description]
 * @param {object[]} [weightedIndexes] - An array of objects to randomly draw from during
 * randomization. They should be in the form: { index: 0, weight: 4 }.
