Adding some controls to Sierpinski sketch

  attr_reader :sierpinski, :fine, :coarse, :generation, :scale_factor, :xpos, :ypos

      c.title = "Controller:"
      c.slider :fine, 0.00..3.00, 0.00

    sierpinski.gamma = fine/150 + coarse/15

Click on image to see full size, I have since added a coarse slider (and renamed delta as fine). The fine range here is fairly conservative, you should try that first. Before trying the coarse or use both controls in combination, to get some pretty funky fractals... 
NB requires my custom grammar library see Cesàro fractal in a previous post for code.
