Using the pen tool, how to only delete some of what was written / stamped?

Title, mostly. I have a text engine that uses stamps and it prints out whatever you type. Unless there's a simpler way to do this, how can I make it just delete what I last stamped?

clear (stamp 1 v) 

Something like that is what I'm trying to do. How could I do this? Thanks!

You would have to use a rectangle of backdrop color to stamp over the previous letter's space, or change the color of the stamped letter to the color of the backdrop and stamp over it.

Isn't there a better way? Wouldn't I have to make a sprite go over the stamped thing in order to be covered? Seems kinda unnecessary.

When you say, delete what you just stamped. I took that as, you typed this for example. baseballl

and you want to delete the last l. Did I misunderstand. Do you want to delete the entire thing you typed?


Here is a quick example, small scale for concept. 3 cats are stamped. press left arrow and you can stamp white over them

Oh, I guess that is what I wanted. I assumed that there would be an existing function is Scratch or something similar. Well, thanks for the help!
