Btw, I have already written something similar in perl. I had to generate the sequence of (x,y) coordinates in spiral, something like this:
This was for an internet game. I wanted to discover the islands on a map with a ship in some order. This order is good becuse this way the ship travels only 1 units of distance in each step, so the discovery was fast, and I discovered the islands near my island first (as that's where the center of the spiral was). Bots have since been banned in that game, so I have deleted the code. Sorry.
