Repeating Operations - Loop

Hi,

I've tried to place random L blocks on a grid. Program picks a random point from a point cloud, then picks 2 closest points of it. When I place a box for each point, I have a L block with 3 boxes. Next step, algorithm deletes these 3 points from point cloud, then picks a random point and 2 closest points again. I want to make a loop for these operations and want to continue the algorithm till there was no enough point. How can I make this?

You can see the multiplecopies at the attached image that I want to loop. I need a slider that makes multiple L blocks when I change it.

Thank you very much in advance!

Try This, Its using Anemone to create the loops in Grasshopper. You will see its just your logic in a loop. I did a little edit to your grid as well so you could have more levels.

That is fantastic! Thank you so much. This is excatly what I want! Another question; my grasshopper file is my old and more basic work. I have added new rule that deletes the non-L blocks like 3 boxes side-by-side. I make it with Dispatch. How can I integrate this rule into your codes? You can see it at my new attached file.

I was wondering about those , nice approach. Now added to the code, Slightly differently than your dispatch option as returns unused points that have failed back to the stack for another round. Hope that's fine.
