I will try an implement this after I see what values winds up yielding.

Thanks for the example of making the transposed_grid. I will implement this.
Also your assumption is correct, once the grid is created it never gets 
changed as far as it's structure, only the game tiles with in are 
manipulated, and at that we just change there appearance and value.
