Cull Random List Items

So I am trying to create emergence with grasshopper. I have 22 points, the goal is to create random lines from 1 random start, to the next without ever hitting the same point twice. Eventually I'd like to add basic rules for avoidance. (don't select a point to the right or two points to the left.) The goal is several iterations of random line generation. Can anyone give me some guidance on how to go about this or where to go next?

Hello Adam,

This definition just shuffles the points' order and then creates a polyline through those points. It doesn't pass from the same point twice but it may pass over one point (if you have points in a straight line, like you do).

If you want to add rules to this you would probably have to use a loop plugin like anemone or hoopsnake since every move will depend on the last one.
