The conversion to int introduces a rounding error that accumulates over
time.

One way to keep the error low is to keep the float values in self.pos and do
the rounding on the fly when you display the point:
class Poly():
def __init__(self, color, pos, rot=m.radians(1)):
self.color = color
self.pos = pos
self.rot = rot
def draw(self):
x, y = self.pos
pygame.draw.circle(screen, self.color, [350+int(x), 250+int(y)], 10,
0)
def rotate(self):
sin = m.sin(self.rot)
cos = m.cos(self.rot)
x_rot = self.pos[0]*cos-self.pos[1]*sin
y_rot = self.pos[0]*sin+self.pos[1]*cos
self.pos = [x_rot, y_rot]
a = Poly(white, [100, 100])
b = Poly(green, [0, 100])
c = Poly(blue, [100, 0])
d = Poly(red, [0, 0])
