Ah, the ever-elusive source/client code. The source code is the code written in ActionScript 3, or the SWF file. This code determines how you see the data sent back and forth between you and the server.

This code controls mostly everything visual; racing physics, items that you have/use, prize popups, etc. Without the PR2 SWF, all you'd have are messages being sent to and from a server. That's a pretty boring user interface for a game!

The short answer is no. Jiggmin applied something called obfuscation to the client code, which essentially encrypts the code so that nosy people can't tamper with it. While it's theoretically possible that someone highly experienced in reverse-engineering and/or deobfuscation/decompilation could do it, I know that I'm nowhere near qualified enough to undertake something like that. Even if we were able to do it, the code would likely not be the same as it was before it was obfuscated due to variable renaming and intense code jumbling in the client.
