Golf me a polygonal loader
  • Given three positive integers as input, animate an ascii-art polygonal loading symbol on the screen.
  • ## Intro
  • Using the first input \$n\$,
  • Take one the following regular polygons:
  • ```
  • * * *
  • * *
  • * * * * *
  • * * * *dasd
  • * * * * * * * *
  • * * * * * * * *
  • * * * * * * * * * * * *
  • ```
  • And draw it with the correct side length \$l\$.
  • Given load length \$d\$ lesser than it's perimeter, create it's loading animation as follows:
  • - Start at any one of the topmost corners, and draw the bounding line till it's length is \$d\$.
  • - Then, shift the position by 1 clockwise and do the next step.
  • For example, \$n=3,l=3,d=4\$ would result in the following steps:
  • ```
  • * * * *
  • * → * → * → * → * * → * * → . . .
  • * * * * * * * * * * * *
  • ```
  • ## Further details:
  • * You are guaranteed that \$n∊(3,4,6,8)\$
  • * You are guaranteed that \$l≥3.\$
  • * You are guaranteed that \$d<l×n.\$
  • * This is not graphical-output.
  • ## Scoring
  • This is code-golf. Shortest answer in each language wins.
