本文介绍了一种名为HyperGami的计算机应用程序，允许用户设计，探索，装饰和研究各种各样的纸多面体模型。在结构上，HyperGami是一个“可编程设计环境”，包括直接操作界面以及基于Scheme语言的域丰富编程环境;因此，该应用程序旨在为几何学学生提供访问，同时为长期或专家用户（如专业数学家和设计师）提供具有挑战性的项目。在本文的过程中，我们描述了HyperGami接口和语言;说明了各种“自定义多面体”的建设;讨论了我们的初步经验，使用该系统与中学生的工作结果;并主张在教育设计环境中嵌入编程语言的效用，如这一个。
This paper describes a computer application named HyperGami that permits users to design, explore, decorate, and study a rich variety of paper polyhedral models. In structure, HyperGami is a "programmable design environment", including both a direct manipulation interface as well as a domain-enriched programming environment based on the Scheme language; the application is thus designed to be accessible to students of geometry while providing challenging projects for long-term or expert users (such as professional mathematicians and designers). In the course of this paper, we describe the HyperGami interface and language; illustrate the construction of "customized polyhedra" of various sorts; discuss the results of our initial experiences using the system in working with middle-school students; and argue for the utility of embedding programming languages in educational design environments such as this one.
