In case you want plain tiles, without shifting down the second column and the rest of the even columns, you can use this script:
convert -size 800x600 tile:Ball.jpg Tiles.jpg
(probably the majority of people landing on this question want such plain tiles, like I did)
My "Ball.jpg" is 200 x 200 pixels, so this script creates a 4x3 tile image.
For ImageMagick 7 users, replace convert with magick.
