Very similar to the Spidron tilings - Very impressive work!

I have drawn such things by hand since I was a kid. I still draw sometimes but it can take a lot of time. For example,

When I saw the images in this post, I saw something that could be described as a wild fantasy. I've almost never tried to draw these things with a computer but if you were able to do this with GeoGebra, I should take a look of it too. So nice to see that someone else has enjoyed them. I was thinking, is there any precise formula for the curves that appear? It should depend on the n of n-gon, r for the side length of n-gon (or bigger radius) and s for the constant step length on every previous edge. Perhaps you know that formula?
Thank you for such amazing pictures!
