I was at a close arcade (Galactican in Santa Clara) and saw a new video
game by Atari, called Assault.

The key thing about the game is that the player stays stationary, and the
screen bits rotate around the player when he turns.

If this is in fact what it appears to be (a very fast (might be hardware)
bit rotator) then I would be interested in finding the basic
algorithms used.

Any info is appreciated. Please respond by email.
