Generative Design of Towers

Good afternoon,

I’m trying to create a definition that given a list of points, and a list of seeds, return a list of selected Locations for each of the towers. For each iteration the list of Points is reduced by the surface of the Located Tower.

This is what I have currently, not sure about the nested Associative code.

def ExcludingPoints (listOfPoints:var[],listOfSeeds:var[])
{
return = [Imperative]
{
count = 0;
ReturnedList = [];
totalseeds = List.Count(listOfSeeds);
posiblePoints = listOfPoints;
maximum = List.Count(listOfPoints)-1;
	while(totalseeds > count)
	{
		RandomNumber = Sequence.RandomNumbers(0, maximum, 1, listOfSeeds[count]);
		SelectedPoint = List.GetItemAtIndex(posiblePoints,RandomNumber);
		TowerBase = Circle.ByCenterPointRadius(SelectedPoint, 23);
		OccupiedSurface = Surface.ByPatch(TowerBase);
		[Associative]
			{
				Boolean = Geometry.DoesIntersect
					(posiblePoints<1>, OccupiedSurface<2>);
				FlattenBoolean = List.Flatten(Boolean, -1);
				FilterPosiblePoints = List.FilterByBoolMask
					(posiblePoints, FlattenBoolean);
				NewPosiblePoints = Dictionary.ValueAtKey
					(FilterPosiblePoints, "out");
				NumberOfPoints = List.Count(NewPosiblePoints);
				NewMaximum = NumberOfPoints - 1;
			}
		posiblePoints = NewPosiblePoints;
		maximum = NewMaximum;
		ReturnedList = List.AddItemToEnd(SelectedPoint, ReturnedList);
		count = count + 1;
	}
return = ReturnedList;
}
};

I hope this makes sense
Thank you very much.
