This step places the game tiles randomly.
The code takes the list of tiles, duplicates it, and shuffles it, accessing the `memory_tiles` property through the JavaScript code.
As `memory_tiles` is an array, it's represented as a JavaScript [`Array`](https://slint.dev/docs/node/).
You can't change the model generated by Slint, but you can extract the tiles from it, and put them
in a [`slint.ArrayModel`](https://slint.dev/docs/node/classes/arraymodel.html) which implements the [`Model`](https://slint.dev/docs/node/interfaces/model.html) interface.
`ArrayModel` allows you to make changes and you can use it to replace the static generated model.

Running this code opens a window that now shows a 4 by 4 grid of rectangles, which show or hide
the icons when a player clicks on them.
