I think it's move(y, x) and not move(x, y)

There are a few other 'gotcha's in NCurses for those brain-damaged by conio.h (as I once was)... It is a good idea to have some really good documentation handy.

http://tldp.org/HOWTO/NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO/
http://orgs.man.ac.uk/documentation/gnu/ncurses/

Hope this helps.

Oh, before I forget, a good idea is to init and finalize curses using an object:

struct NCurses
  {
  NCurses()
    {
    initscr();
    raw();
    (void)noecho();
    nonl();
    intrflush( stdscr, FALSE );
    (void)keypad( stdscr, TRUE );
    //etc
    }
  ~NCurses()
    {
    endwin();
    }
  };

int main()
  {
  NCurses ncurses;

  printshape( 5, 20 );
  getch();

  return 0;
  }
