Functionality is disclosed herein for changing a user experience using application events. Events that occur while an application is executing are provided to an application service. The events may be stored on the computing device executing the application before the events are provided to the application service. The application service uses the events to generate a plan that includes data identifying one or more actions for the application to perform. The events used to generate the plan may include events received from other users who also interact with the application. The plan is used by an application to select one or more actions to perform to move the user interacting with the application closer to a goal state. The plan may be periodically updated.

Changing user experience using application events and selected actions

Various techniques may be employed for assigning user inputs such as a touch on a touchscreen to various input controls such as buttons or other features provided on a touchscreen. One example input assignment technique is a nearest neighbor technique, whereby a touch may, for example, be assigned to an input control that is positioned closest to the touch location. Another example input assignment technique is an angle and distance technique, whereby a touch may, for example, be assigned to an input control based on an angle and a distance of the touch relative to a prior touch.
