In Play Mode, the only thing holding back the experience of editing while playing is the lack of the Editor UI.

The "edit while play" cheat works but gives you a basic freehand tool on all default settings.

Explore ideas to make a first-class "edit while play" experience as a Game Type for levels to use, e.g. Terraria style controls, you get a UI of draw tools and the level's palette but can only paint near the player character.
