This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

Enter 0 into center position and 1 into next position of the spiral. Repeat: Add to the number in the present position the numbers in all those already filled positions that are horizontally, vertically or diagonally adjacent to it, go to next position of the spiral and enter the sum into it.
a(1) = 0, a(2) = 1, a(n) = a(n-1) + Sum_{i < n-1 and a(i) is adjacent to a(n-1)} a(i).
As in A094767 eight positions are considered adjacent here.
Clockwise and counterclockwise construction of the spiral result in the same sequence.
