Is this a homework question?
Not sure why you need the underscores but if is the asterisks that are important then you could try using escape codes to do it...
You will need to do the _animation_ yourself as it looks like a homework question...
the simple case however is:-
horiz=23
vert=11
printf "\x1B["$vert";"$horiz"f*"
Will print an asterisk at position 23 across and 11 down in a terminal window...
This is for bash, and might work on other shells...
