I am trying to make a game in pygame. I want to make a turret that will fire at the player. I have the formula to make this happen, but for some reason, it isn't completely accurate. I am running into the same problem with the player shooting as well. I am trying to use the mouse to aim, and it is off by a little bit.
Here is an image to help with understanding. The cross is the turret and the ghost is the player. The rest is the bullets that should be hitting the player but it is hitting the rect top left it seems.
It is a bit of a mess but here is the code I am trying to test this with.

I have been searching everywhere for an answer. I am not exactly sure what I am looking for. I am very new to game dev and I am still pretty new with python and pygame. I tried transform.scale() but that seemed to push the character off the screen when I put it into update().
