comment Converting hexagon grid coordinate system
+1; I came into this question with the intention of posting a link to your guide. You've saved me the trouble! (Except that I've done it anyway, now.)

comment Perfect FPS camera angle
In a commercial PS2 game I worked on, when the user toggled into first-person view, the gun model we drew was about twelve meters long (and nowhere near where the gun would actually have been located in space if it was being held in the hands of the character model), because that's what it took to make it look right on screen. When you're making a game, the goal is usually to make it look right, rather than to make it be right.

For a voxel-based game, I imagine that you could probably get away with just using Bresenham, extended into three dimensions.

comment Creative Commons Share-Alike/No-Derive - what constitutes an adaptation, if the asset is not altered?
I'm pretty sure that a game is a moving image set to music. Or at least, it is if it's playing music and showing visuals. I mean, a video game is not a collection -- it doesn't say "here is a collection of unrelated pieces of music which I have collected together, please enjoy them" -- it's a stand-alone work combining many pieces of art into a single whole -- a whole which is intended to be experienced as a single work, and which incorporates the music as a part of that work.

@Attackfarm There is no "between" in license terms. If you don't fully qualify to be treated as a Collective Work (under the definition used in those license terms), then you are not covered by the special exceptions provided for Collective Works. A video game is clearly not a Collective Work under the definition used in the license text, so the portions of the license relevant to Collective Works are not applicable to our discussion here.
