Six different shapes can be chosen by clicking on Tools and then Piece Size or by clicking on the puzzle piece icon on the Tool Bar. If you increase the percentage of fun shapes, that will also increase the number of shapes in the puzzle.

A drop down has 8 choices for piece style and you can add a certain amount (or none) of "fun" pieces. The fun pieces drop down has 6 choices. Also there are 4 choices for the size of the pieces.

It has many selections for a large aray of specivic patterns of shapes, but it also has two selections for a random changing of all the shapes the device displays. This is the setting I have mine set on. I have been very happy with it. Hope this helps.

You can have as many as you like. Give each one a unique name and save as separate files. Just load the one you want to work on.

Yes it can be made into quite a few shapes. I use it as a rectangle for my dog.

The shapes of pieces, you have the pointy triangle on the 144 and other shapes that the 112 pieces doesnt't have. This video shows the 144 pieces: http://youtu.be/esk9stjX-KI And this one is the 112 pieces: http://youtu.be/TjFFWDOwIWc ;)

Yes, but the letters will be different colors. There's are 28 blocks and 4 sides of every block has a letter (the other two sides have a number or math symbol and an animal picture).

No, there are pretty much 12 different shapes, other than what you see pictured there are three additional thin prisms with bases of a square, hexagon and octagon, a small rectangular cube, a larger shorter circular prism than the one in the picture, and a half sphere.

You can make almost any shape and the extension provides much more room. We bought an extension and it assembles very easily and you can make a very stable square or rectangle with a good amount of room for play. We liked this so much we bought a second set and extension. It's well made.

The tips aren't really different shapes per se, but are differ size round tips, which you can do tons of things with, the shapes are all circles though. I use the fine one to make little feather designs and they come out greatþ.

I would say custom patterns rather than random. There are certain principles to how it works - all of the suggested configurations follow these principles. Once a child (by age or by heart) has learned these, there is no reason they could not make any pattern that followed those principles. In fact you could buy two or three of these and build giant structures.

The width and length is a variable, depending on how you want it arranged. Each panel is around 30" wide, and are 'hinged' by plastic pins, so you can have an octagon, or square, or rectangle, or oval, etc, etc. However you want the 8 panels to be formed. Quite versatil in configuring a shape. You could even buy 2 playpens, and hook them together to handle a gaggle of babies.... :)

It comes in different shapes and sizes so make sure you choose the shape and size you would like and it should arrive as so, did for me! I ordered oval that's what I received it isn't very think though...

Yes, you can pick what side you want the long and short side on. There are two sets of directions for whatever side you want.

No, the answer below is correct that there are three different patterns. I love them!
