Migração de uma engine de xadrez em Java para C# com estudo comparativo do desempenho de execução do algoritmo Minimax com podas alfa-beta

Abstract

This paper presents a comparative study of the performance of a chess engine in Java and another in C#. The engine in C# was built from code migration in Java. It serves as a guide for developers who want to migrate applications and numerical performance results that can help them make a cost-effective decision when migrating. It also presents the main AI techniques that are used in building a game engine like chess. The migration was successful, as the resulting movements in each case analyzed in both engines are identical. Performance tests were performed considering all phases of the game (opening, middle and final), in search depths 3 and 5. The Java engine proved to be quite superior in terms of performance.
