StefanN Physics is a complex subject. That demo only covers the very basics. You can try applying torque to the car body, or vertical forces to wheels, but it may take a lot of experimenting.
Check out this tweet - this is the game prototype I helped to create, it took us several weeks to get the physics just right:

.

Also, if you have any questions about my demos, please ask them in this topic:

Use either Bullet or Particles, not both.

If you want the confetti sprites to bounce off the floor, create them with events, randomize their angle, speed, gravity, rotation etc.

what would the proper way to stop them from stacking/fusing on top of each other?

Unfortunately, there is no proper way. There are many methods, but none of them work 100% correctly. You can search this forum for something like "pathfinding no overlapping". Also, I have two demos which are a bit complex, but may give you some ideas:

made the event and log but what am I suppose to enter for the message?

Whatever you want. For example, Log "Adventurer "&Adventurer.UID&" FIND PATH"

Then open browser console in preview and watch for this message.

.

The problem is Turret behavior, it somehow prevents Pathfinding from moving. I'm guessing it tries to change the angle.. If you disable Turret immediately after "Find path", then the adventurer moves correctly. Try using a different sprite for turret behavior, pinned to the Adventurer sprite.

Also, using Solid on the same Adventurer sprite can cause problems, don't do this. Same with adding Adventurer sprite to obstacles.. If you want to prevent multiple adventurers from bumping into each other, this is not the right way to do it.

Make sure that your "Find path" action is only triggered once, and not on every tick. You can add "Browser -> Log" debug message, then in preview press F12 and open browser console, you should see this message appear once.

Maybe there is something else preventing the Adventurer from moving. Does it have any other movement behaviors, like MoveTo, Physics etc.? Check if pathfinding speed is set in behavior properties.

If nothing helps, please share your project file, as I don't see any problems on your screenshots.

You can try selecting/deselecting "Auto font size" property, or increasing the font size with CSS.

But I don't like using TextInput in games, it's easy to make your own text input which will work better, will scale correctly, will not steal focus etc. See these links:

If the issue is just with the center of mass, you need to use a symmetrical collision polygon, or set Collision Mask=Bounding Box in Physics properties. If your ship sprite has a complex shape, maybe use a different invisible object as a ship body instead, and pin the visible sprite to it.

I have an old demo, maybe it can help:

Yes, if you select another object in "Object" field, it will spawns instances of this object as particles. Pretty cool feature.

You can spawn sprites with Particles object, this allows to randomize each particle shape, color, rotation etc. You can also detect when individual particles collides with an enemy. See this demo:

But if you want them to bounce off walls, you'll need to use Bullet as Brunopalermo suggested, or Physics.
