how to make a crosshair with x and y coordinates python
#this imports all the nerd stuff so you can use the code without errors
import pygame
import time
pygame.init()
#all of the variables names and meaning
#1):red red is just the colour red.. used to paint the rectangles.. i dont know why
#2):rect_z is the active size of the middle rectangle / rect_z
#3):dick is the minus value of the middle rectangle / rect_z
#4):screen is the variable for the pygame window.. it is used a lot to make rectangles
#5):done is the variable for if the pygame window is running or not
#6):xmousepos is the active value of the x value of your cursors position
#7):ymousepos is the active value of the x value of your cursors position
#8):keys is the variable of any keypress on your keyboard
