positions(&T,&H);
void positions(int *HarePoint,int *TortoisePoint)
Hare is moving, Tortoise not.
you are printing them backwards.

get used to read the warnings
49: warning: using the result of an assignment as a condition without parentheses [-Wparentheses]
note: use '==' to turn this assignment into an equality comparison

Found it. What it says is that for an if statement, use "==" instead of '='.
