## About this tutorial

If this is your first time trying interactive 2D design, this is a great place to start! 😉 In this tutorial, we’ll guide you step by step through how to easily create a 2D interaction that follows your cursor (or tracks touch input on mobile devices) using Hana, a new real-time canvas for designing and animating interactive 2D experiences.

We’ll build this playful interaction by applying the Follow event to create a smooth, flowing chain reaction. It’s a fun and easy way to add a bit of motion and personality to your website or project.
