AIM Fight Archive

Collection of historical information and assets related to the AIMFight.com website. AIM Fight was a website operated by AIM/AOL from 2005-2013 which allowed you to compare the popularity of any two screennames.

Live Demo

You can access a live demo of the AIM Fight website at the GitHub pages url, https://jgknight.github.io/aimfight-archive/

The website uses a static results file, so scores will be the same regardless of what screenname is entered.

Repo Contents

Within the decompiled directory you can find the decompiled and exported resources from each of the AIM fight swf files. They were decompiled using the JPEXS Free Flash Decompiler.

A full export includes shapes, texts, images, scripts, frames, sprites, buttons, fonts, symbok class mappings, movies, sounds, binary data, definefont4, morphshapes, embedded assets.

A partial export means it is missing the movies, sounds, binary data, definefont4, morphshapes, embedded assets.

About AIM Fight

API

The API consists of a single URL called by the Adobe Flash applet that returns the scores and ranks of the users. Additionally, it returns heights for the bars for the applet to show.

It was accessed at http://www.aimfight.com/getFight.php?name1=SCREENNAME1&name2=SCREENNAME2

By replacing SCREENNAME1 and SCREENNAME2 with the screen names of the individuals to fight, percent-encoded data was returned in the following format:

&success=1&score1=132451&score2=6004&oscore1=27241&oscore2=0&height1=99&height2=4

• success returns whether or not the fight was a valid one (0 if no, 1 if yes)
• score1 represents the score of the first screen name entered
• score2 represents the score of the second screen name entered
• oscore1 shows the rank of the first screen name if it is in the Top 5%
• oscore2 shows the rank of the second screen name if it is in the Top 5%
• height1 is the height of the first screen name's bar
• height2 is the height of the second screen name's bar
