Here is my solution:

n = (ARGV[0] || 8).to_i
(0...n).each do |row|
   lev = (row-n/2).abs
   m = [2*lev+1,n].min
   p = (n-m+1)/2
   (0...p).each do |col|
     s = (n/2-col)*2
     s = s*(s-1)-(row-col)
     printf "%2d ",s
   end
   delta = n/2<=>row
   s = lev*2
   s *= (s-delta)
   s += m-1 if delta<0
   m.times do
     printf "%2d ",s
     s += delta
   end
   (0...n-p-m).each do |col|
     s = (lev+col+1)*2
     s = s*(s+1)-(p+m+col-row)
     printf "%2d ",s
   end
   puts
end
