If you look at that matrix, the upper left entry is 0, then 1 is
adjacent to it, then 2 is diagonally adjacent to the 1, and if you
follow the path through 3,4,...143 it takes a zig-zag pattern through
the 12x12 square.  Not exactly a thesis project.  

Also, it's a Rosetta problem: http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Zig-zag_matrix

and it looks like someone has already put a Forth solution there.

It would be nice if the Rosetta tasks were numbered like Euler problems.
