COMMENTS
| The matrix is formed by writing numbers 1 .. n^2 in zig-zag pattern as shown in examples below. Every other antidiagonal reads backwards from A069480.
Whereas each antidiagonal of A069480 begins with one more than a triangular number and ends with the next triangular number, here every other antidiagonal begins with one more than a triangular number and the next antidiagonal begins with a triangular number.
