Interesting Tricks

Editable Map While Playing

In Play Mode run the command:

Command Effect
$ d.Scene.Drawing().Editable = true Can click and drag new pixels onto the level while playing it.
$ d.Scene.Drawing().Scrollable = true Arrow keys scroll the map, like in editor mode.
$ d.Scene.Drawing().NoLimitScroll = true Allow map to scroll beyond bounded limits.

The equivalent Canvas in the Edit Mode is at d.Scene.UI.Canvas

Edit Out-of-Bounds in Editor Mode

In Edit Mode run the command:

$ d.Scene.UI.Canvas.NoLimitScroll = true

and you can scroll the map freely outside of the normal scroll boundaries. For example, to see/edit pixels outside the top-left edges of bounded levels.
