snake-game's Issues

Graphical change creates a jittering problem.

Problem: Graphical jitter happens on when changing graphical effects on every 50ms. For example, some process delays generally greater than 50ms.

Possible solution: https://gafferongames.com/post/fix_your_timestep/

long beforeTime = System.currentTimeMillis();

//Do execution that takes time

long sleepTimeBetweenRefresh = System.currentTimeMillis() - beforeTime;
if(sleepTimeBetweenRefresh < 0) sleepTimeBetweenRefresh = 0;

This will reduce the processing time gap based on the previous processing time.
