Game play is a procedure of playing the game following the results of choices existing in the game. Such games are generally implemented not by certain rules and techniques like other designs but by abilities and experiences of game designers. In this paper we propose a design method of game play through possibility reasoning and distributions using elements of cognitive psychology which are 'a theory about problem solving' and 'a theory about reasoning and decision'. These two theories are very closely related to game play which has the procedure of solving problem of continuous choices and their results.

Game industry demands for talented workers from game scenario writing, graphic design and computer game programming areas, which are the three heterogeneous parts of computer game making. This paper deals with the analysis on the college convergence education, surveying the curriculums of game departments in Korean universities and with how to proceed for game programmers to the direction of convergence education for computer game making. Most of the game departments are focusing on game programming area, whereas only 2 departments among 14 surveyed are teaching the game graphic design topics. Observing the curriculum changes for sampled game departments reveals that around 30% of the majoring classes are directly game related. Game programmers are to be advised to fulfill their programming skill first and later expand their ability to game graphic design skill.
