I'm doing a Game in Xaml WPF, I didn't really choose the tools and languages. It's to be hidden in a really big app with a lot of codes.

The whole snake take place in a simple xaml canvas and xaml.cs file here

https://github.com/Jebik/XAMLSnake/blob/master/XAMLSnake/XAMLSnake/XAMLSnakeWindow.xaml.cs

But.. Actually the snake became really laggy after being taller than 20 part. And even before the speed is absolutely not constant.

I don't know a lot about game programming but i'm doing software for a while now.

  How can i improve this game? Make speed less dependent on snake size? Make it lag way less with same computer perf?

First post on code Review feel free to comment if I must change the topic message ..

I think the more important is paintSnake Method called every timer Tick
