Painting a playfield (or World) just embeds a sketch morph into it. Keep 
clicking on the sketch till you get its halo and then script its length and 
width to track those on the playfield. BTW, you will find 'repaint' button on 
the World's halo too.

Just drag the deleted object from the trash back into your project.

There are many ways in which you can have non-siblings be driven by the same 
script. For instance, you can put all such objects into an invisible holder 
and use 'Holder's tell all contents'. See Bert's video on Pythagoras theorem 
for some more hints.
