I'm just wondering but how would you code an assert to ensure the variable for a
title bar is the correct color? Just how many asserts are you going to have in
your real-time game that can be expected to run at 144+ fps ?
Experience will guide you on where to put the asserts.
But really, just apply common sense. It's not just for software. If you're a
physicist, and your calculations come up with a negative mass, you screwed up.
If you're a mechanical engineer, and calculate a force of billion pounds from
dropping a piano, you screwed up. If you're an accountant, and calculate that
you owe a million dollars in taxes on a thousand dollars of income, you screwed
up. If you build a diagnostic X-ray machine, and the control software computes a
lethal dose to administer, you screwed up.
Apply common sense and assert on unreasonable results, because your code is
broken.
