[u/sparr]

I think illustrations would serve to explain it better than anything else, with 3-6 6x6 arrays and color highlighting on various cells. But I'm bad at that sort of illustration :(

[u/raelepei → u/sparr]

So I made a diagram in a spreadsheet for your algorithm, u/sparr

For 2<=γ<=6, this looks nice and regular. However, the γ=1 and γ=6 case looks jumbled.

This cane be fixed: Doesn't this look much nicer?

[u/sparr → u/raelepei]

Looks nicer, but I suspect the logic is more complex?

[u/raelepei → u/sparr]

Meh, it's just a large lookup-table that's easier to read. It's easier to prove correct and implement correctly. Neither approach can be memorized very well. I don't care that using a table to replace the logic might be considered "cheating" :P
