This shows one of the few drawbacks of C#.

In C and C++ you can use bitfields in structs something like:

[code]

struct Animal

{

bool isAlive: 1;

bool isFiring: 1;

char Species: 4;

};

[/code]

But in C# to get similar functionality you would have to create a class that handles things behind the scenes. Probably a safer way to go.
