Hi,
I'm making a snake game and I got a timer to check everything and repaint the component.
How can I achieve a 60 fps without affecting the movement of the snake.
I need help to come up with an equation for the speed of the snake.
Need to change the delay in SnakeBoard class and the speed in Snake class
If there is better implementation let me know.
Thanks in advance.
Here is the main logic:

private Snake snake;

private Random posGenerator;
private boolean inGame = true;
private Timer timer;
private int delay = 1000/60; // if I change it to 100 the game works just fine
private int lastDot =0;
public SnakeBoard(JLabel status,int width, int height)
{
statusBar = status;
setPreferredSize(new Dimension(width,height));
posGenerator = new Random();
setFocusable(true);
addKeyListener(new KAdapter());
setBackground(Color.BLACK);
setDoubleBuffered(true);
this.width = width;
this.height = height;
snake = new Snake(50,50,5,width,height);
apple = new Apple(250,250);
body = snake.getBody();
appleI = apple.getImg();
timer = new Timer(delay, this);
timer.start();
}
@Override
public void paint(Graphics g)
{
super.paint(g);
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
if(inGame)
{
g2.drawImage(appleI, apple.getX(),apple.getY(),this);
int x[] = snake.getX();
int y[] = snake.getY();
int size = snake.getDots();
g2.drawImage(snake.getHead(), x[0], y[0], this);
for(int i=1; i< size;i++)
g2.drawImage(snake.getBody(),x[i],y[i],null);
statusBar.setText("dots: "+size+" apple: "+apple.getX()+" "+apple.getY()+" delay: "+delay);
}
else
{
statusBar.setText("Game Over");
timer.stop();
}
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().sync();
g.dispose();
}

if(x[0] < 0 || x[0] > width)
inGame = false;

inGame = false;
}
public void locateApple()
{

apple.moveTo(x, y);
}
