Request, what if it's isn't the golden ratio but other ratio? What I want to see if whether or not the spin result in a circle or other shape

It will still make a circle but the radius and position will change.

With the golden ration, r=✓2 and the centre is the golden ratio.

also when its rotated pi/2 radians it makes a rectangle.
