There is no need to assemble the output matrix.

What kind of viewer are you using? The code above should work. I would step
through
in the debugger to see why one column is all zeros, or try it in an example
like
SNES ex5 to make sure its not a problem in your code.

What most experimenters take for granted before they begin their
experiments is infinitely more interesting than any results to which their
experiments lead.
