Hi all,

I was on StumbleUpon last night and it dumped me into a neat little room designer application. The software is by Icovia. Apparently furniture sites buy this application to put on their site to promote sales/avoid returns.

The software includes icons for designing a gameroom (pinball machines, arcade games, etc). I mocked up my gameroom from memory in about 15 minutes:

http://furniturelandsouth.icovia.com/default.aspx?projGuid=C02BC17C-4A81-4BB5-A8A2-2B74D199C5C7

Note: this particular instance of the application might be a little slow.

The software is really easy to use, has dimensions, print bill of materials, icons can have links to websites (so I click on your Sinistar and it presents a link to your personal Sinistar page), and designs can be shared with a simple http link. Signup (email address and zip code is all that's required; opt out of company emails) to be able to save your work.

Just Google "icovia room planner" and you'll find any number of sites hosting the application. Some sites have different versions with different features/icons, but I just found one that had all the gameroom icons.

For example,
http://furniturelandsouth.icovia.com/icovia.aspx
http://thomasville.icovia.com/icovia.aspx version has an URL for sharing on Facebook.

Speaking of Facebook, apparently Icovia integrated their software with Facebook recently, so this may already be a feature available to Facebook users.

Anyway, just thought I'd share this.

Thanks for the link. I'll have to give it a try. I've been using floorplanner.com, but they don't have any arcade machine objects, only a pinball machine.
 
Coolest app ever ... thanks for sharing.

Now I can turn my entire 3600 sq foot home into pure, classic gaming goodness ... watch out, FullThrottle!
