You can write

move(x,y);
printw("*");

as mvprintw ( x, y, "*" );

Then you forgot to refresh(); the screen, which is why you can't see the output.

I checked how ncurses work, and found out that ncurses.h is just a shortcut to curses.h <- you might want to include that. (possibly this will make compilation slightly faster?)
