It looks like both have been put under github.

It's possible to release code and media under more than one license simultaneously.

But the license states otherwise:

   "Content" includes but is not limited to the art, sound
   effects, music, and anything covered by national and internation
   copyright and trademark laws. "Content" SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDES all
   source code found within the "flixel-ios" folder of this archive,
   which is distributed under a different license. All other source code
   is considered "Content".

For such a simple game, Canabalt has some non-obvious tuning: http://blog.semisecretsoftware.com/tuning-canabalt I love such attention to detail.

This is an absolutely inspiring post. I've been thinking about the game mechanics (actual game mechanics :P) for a game I've had in mind for a few years now, and this is huge inspiration. Thanks for linking it. Sadly, I haven't found that many posts like this in the past.
