A treasure detector that beeps faster as you get close, without dropped or doubled beeps

Walking toward a buried chest the beeps should speed up smoothly. The easy way, a timer that restarts whenever the distance changes, makes the sound stutter or go silent. Here is how to keep the rhythm steady while the speed changes.

Why this works

A beat is something that fills up over time, not a countdown you restart. If a change in distance only alters how fast it fills, and the leftover is kept, the rhythm never breaks, and the sound follows the player smoothly instead of stuttering.

When not to use it

Not the right tool when the player should work out the answer alone, or when a beating sound would be annoying for long searches or for people with hearing trouble. Offer a quiet visual hint, or a clue that shows only on request.
