Is it possible to have tiles appear differently in the makecode editor and when actually running code?

I wonder, do the “cover” tile blocks work for your scenario? You can find them if you import the arcade-tile-util extension (go to “Extensions” and scroll down to find it):

Here’s a sample of those blocks in action: [https://arcade.makecode.com/S17227-79632-53184-76643](https://arcade.makecode.com/S17227-79632-53184-76643). In that sample, I’ve used a purple tile in the tilemap editor but I change all of them to green in the code, then I manually set a few one-off tiles to blue.
