EXPANDABLE APPLICATION REPRESENTATION, MILESTONES, AND STORYLINES

摘要

Expandable application representation, milestone, and storyline techniques are described. The techniques may include support of an expandable representation that may function as an intermediary within a root level (e.g., start menu or screen) of a file system. Milestone techniques are also described, which may leverage the expanded representation and other display techniques. A user, for instance, may specify a milestone that is to cause output of an application, such as a sports score, join point in an online game, and so on. Additionally, storyline techniques are described in which a previous version of a game may be utilized to provide context during the loading of a subsequent version of the game
