Math

I run into wacky math things while I play my pointless games.

The setup:

I have a set of monsters I can use. They each cost a certain, different, amount of creds to play. I have a maximum amount of creds I can spend. The order of monsters I play is relevant.

What is the formula for determining all the possible permutations?

Don't tell me there isn't one, there must be one.

So something like

Monster A costs 1 credit
Monster B costs 2 credits
Monster C costs 3 credits
Monster D costs 3 credits

and you have seven credits and want to know all the possible ways to spend them?
