Automatic Construction

Now I build the programs that automatically construct a prime square of order 12, 15, 17 and 22. But how one of them works?

1. It generates a random square, so we have all the rows and columns at the same order of distance to the magic state.
2. It searches all the value to changes (all combination) from second row to first one (in the same columns) that make the first row magic.
3. It searches now for third columns to second for making the second magic.
4. It goes ahead with the same scheme until the precedent of the last.
5. If not all the rows are become magic (because no right changes was found), it repeats the procedure using 1° and 3° rows , 2° and 4° ...
6. If there's rows still not magic, we go to point 1 because we have spend too much time for this square.
7. It rotates the square and repeat the procedure as in point 2 (we now operates in the columns, because the rotation makes columns to become rows)
8. It applies the automatic procedure that make the diagonals to the magic state

I generate easy the 12, 15 and 17 order, but for order 22 I can't find solution (after 4 hour of calculation). So I speed up the program coding it more reliable and I find the 22 order in 2 hour with the 286. The 12 order is find out at the average rate of 1 in 2 minutes.

These are the first squares that I automatically found for order 12, 15, 17 and 22:
