Visual representation of the matrix with code that generate the picture (I use matplotlib==3.8.4):

def show_snail(n) -> None:
    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

    matrix = square(n)
    # Using matplotlib to create a heatmap of the matrix
    plt.figure(figsize=(8, 8))
    plt.imshow(
        matrix, cmap="viridis"
    )  # You can choose any colormap like 'viridis', 'hot', 'cool', etc.
    plt.gca().set_position(
        [0, 0, 1, 1]
    )  # Set the axes to fill the whole figure area
    plt.gcf().set_size_inches(w=1, h=1)
    plt.axis("off")  # Hide the axes
    plt.show()
