Traversing the Terdragon Curve

The images below show the 5th and 7th iterations of the terdragon curve. Click on the play button to see an animation of how one can traverse each curve from the left endpoint in such a way that the curve intersects only at corners and never crosses itself. The curve turns 60° right at the end of each Red segment and turns 60° left at the end of each bLue segment. The three buttons labeled slower, normal, and faster will adjust the drawing speed.
