[PD] How does vline~ work under the hood?

[Joe White]

Hey i go bananas,

I can't say I'm totally familiar with Pd's specific implementation but I
did this recently and a simple implementation is to store the target value
and calculate how many samples it takes to reach it based on the delay
time. In your loop decrement the number of samples to target and output the
slope value, when numSamplesToTarget is 0 just output the stored target
value.

Cheers,
Joe
