Text-Based RPG -Moving-

Firsum (2)
Hi guys!!

I'm working on a simple Text-Based RPG in C + +
I just finished with the movement of characters on the map, but I do not know how to put NPCs on some coordinates so that players can interact with them.

Is there a possibility to draw a map which will mark a player and the NPC.
Something like this:
OOOOOOOO
OXXXXXXXXO P=Player
OXXXXXXXXO O=Wall
OXXXXXXPXO X=ground
OXXNXXXXXO N=opponent
OOOOOOOO

Here is the code for movement:

Hello all.
I am sorry to intrude, but I'm trying to figure out how to post something new in this forum.

I've been doing searches but don't see how to start a new thread.
Can someone direct me, please?

I apologize in advance for butting in here.
