[Jprogramming] Ulam's spiral

[David Lambert]

How does Ulam's spiral appear if we map the integers before primality test?
Here I've used Euler's polynomial, and other than creating a dense map, 
I don't see a striking pattern.  However, you might be motivated to try 
other transformations...I recommend to try verbs that map integers to 
odd integers...
