Example of point'n'click adventure engine (SecondBASIC).
Character's moving between interactive objects on the screen is realized already. I planning to realize the "look", "talk", "take" and "use" functions also in future.
The only problem is to make an object name text to appear one tile right from arrow pointer during pointing to object with a "mouse".
Screenshots is here.

Please use some other service than Yandex Disk... After opening that link, it caused my browser to use 100% cpu and RAM was climbing above 4GB when I killed it. Probably a JS miner.
Re: Example of point'n'click adventure engine (SecondBASIC).
And why is that a problem?

Re: Example of point'n'click adventure engine (SecondBASIC).
Because it's very important in point'n'click adventures to warn the players when they pointed to an interactive object in order to rid them of unnecessary pixel-hunting.

You don't necessarily need to use a name, just some kind of feedback. A number of games change the pointer shape depending on how (or if) you can interact with the object under the pointer.

No, I meant technically speaking what's the problem?
For example, if you can warrantee a top limit of characters you can use sprites to display the name. Then I will left planeA free to allow the player to squeeze between the scenario, for example.
Works as well for the "aura" proposed by dear friend Chilly Willy.

The issue with pixel hunting is that it's not obvious that there's anything there at all until you pass the cursor over it anyway. You want to make it obvious that something is actionable just from how it looks (mind you, more feedback is always welcome).
As for the technical problem, yeah more details could be useful if you want help with that :v
