# Eyes that Follow the Mouse
by [kirupa](https://www.kirupa.com/about/whatiskirupa.htm) | filed under [Coding Exercises](https://www.kirupa.com/codingexercises/index.htm)
A fun exploration revolves around the interaction between our mouse cursor and things on the page. What you are going to create is something that looks and behaves as follows:
Move your mouse cursor around the googly-eyed red square, and you'll see that the eyes rotate to face the mouse cursor. The entire body tilts in the direction of the mouse cursor as well. This is a really fun ***advanced*** exercise.
Onwards!
## Starting Point
The easiest way is to fork the following Codepen pen and start adding your modifications:
See the Pen [ Coding Exercises Start](https://codepen.io/kirupa/pen/qBYxQpr) by Kirupa Chinnathambi ([@kirupa](https://codepen.io/kirupa)) on [CodePen](https://codepen.io).
You may want to open the pen [in a new window](https://codepen.io/kirupa/pen/qBYxQpr) if you want more space to code your solution or bring up the Console to see the output.
If you prefer developing locally in your favorite code editor (like Visual Studio Code), create a new HTML document and copy/paste the following boilerplate/starting content into it:
```js

```
The HTML you see here is just the bare minimum content needed to help us get our web page up and running. The rest of the content is what you will add entirely on your own!
