Spiral Crosses - a rotation and dilation exercise

Use slider n for number of iterations Use slider r for rotation in 0.001 increments Use slider d for dilation in 0.001 increments Build command structure in 3 steps: Enter Dilate[poly1, d^i], where i = 1, 2, 3 to find pattern Enter Rotate[Dilate[poly1, d^i], i r π], where i = 1, 2, 3 to find pattern Enter Sequence[Rotate[Dilate[poly1, d^i], i r π], i, 1, n, 1] This Sequence command should work for all polygons.
