    yeah, y++++ and x++++ probably wont work. try this:

    y += 2

    and

    x+= 2

    One thing I can see is putch("@");
    putch is for characters not strings so try using:

    putch('@');

    single quotes for characters
    double quotes for strings

    You may have other errors, as I haven't looked to closely because you didn't use code tags(see FAQ).
