    Moving SPNG doesn't work anymore. :(
    Other moving solid objects don't work.
    You could try this with PHOT though..
    1. Place PHOT on screen (while paused)
    2. Draw stuff out of PHOT
    3. Enter the console (C button on the right hand side)
    4. enter the below:
    !set life phot 30000
    !set vx phot -1
    !set vy phot 0

    How do you make moving spng on the old Powder Toy?

    Same commands, just use "spng" instead of "phot"
    The last two commands set all the sponge particles' speeds to -1 pixel/frame horizontally and 0 pixels per frame vertically, meaning it will go left every frame by 1 pixel.

    the same way, just !set vx spng -1 and !set vy spng 0. It was fixed a long time ago though, so you would have to have a really old version. Old saves that used moving sponge still work with it.

    Also, for phot, I would use !set life phot 0 instead

    Old saves that used moving sponge still work with it.

    does that mean that you can copy and paste moving sponge into a block, cut out a design, and it would work perfectly fine?

    nope, it checks the version the save was made in to make sure.

    You can get a really old version that does have the glitch if you want it to work. I tried doing that once, and then using CONV(DMND) to make moving diamond, but the movable flag that was added after moving sponge was removed, was reset. So it didn't work. I did get moving sponge, that's about it though.

    Technically, PSTN and FRME Allow for "Limited" Moving solids, but more in the sense of large moving pieces of particles or movable machines.
