Remove the frame limiting code (currently set to 50fps for historical reasons¹) and pass the VSync flag to SDL_CreateRenderer. I'm fairly sure that the framerate and animation/physics are decoupled, but that needs double checking.

¹: the original author wrote the current version Apricots in 2002/2003 in the UK and probably had a CRT. The UK uses a grid frequency of 50Hz and so the CRT would have a refresh rate of 50Hz

It is not. The results of changing TICK_INTERVAL are hilarious.
