    Is it possible to create in lua a line that follows cursor. Or how can we follow cursor.

    Yes, there's the new draw function that allows that. 

    drawLine(x, y, x2, y2, color, alpha) 

    You can get the current cursor position by getCursorPos() function.
    So you could do something like this: 
    graphics.addDrawFunc("draw()", 0) 

function draw() 

graphics.drawLine(0, 0, getCursorPos().x, getCursorPos().y, 000, 1.0) 

end

    And if you want that not just end of the line, but whole line to follow, simple line dragging:
    graphics.drawLine(getCursorPos().x-50, getCursorPos().y, getCursorPos().x+50, getCursorPos().y, 000, 1.0)  

    This makes horizontal line to follow cursor. By modifying x and y coordinates, you can rotate it or make at some distance from cursor.

    It's looping automatically. You can delete the function with removeDrawFunc(name).

    graphics.removeDrawFunc("draw()")
