Why don't we have movable bricks?

Currently impossible, and I expect it will stay that way

I don't understand though, how was this able to be done in an older version of the game which used an older engine and not on the engine we have now? I remember someone saying that if they made the bricks go from static to dynamic or something it would work could we do that or is that just silly/not good?

Bricks were magnitudes of 10^3 or 4 times more laggy, simply because they were dynamic and therefore more resource intensive. Please, stop with all these topics. Whenever I see a "why can't the engine do this?" or "we need a better engine" post, 80% of the time it's you

Now you're just stuffting words in my mouth, I never asked for a better engine in this topic, I only asked why the engine couldn't do this because you brought it up first, look in the OP, nowhere did I talk about the game engine and I didn't modify the OP either. I haven't talked/asked about changing the engine for months, most likely since the announcement of V21 (Feb 5 2012) and possibly earlier than that. This when I start getting mad, I NEVER complain about posts you make, just answer my question and leave.
Thanks.
