Julius,

You can just select on STDIN, or use the 'io/wait' module to check for
its status:

require 'io/wait'
require 'ncurses'

begin
	Ncurses.initscr; Ncurses.cbreak; Ncurses.noecho; Ncurses.nonl

	Ncurses.stdscr.addstr("Press a key to continue...")
	Ncurses.stdscr.refresh
	while not STDIN.ready?
		Ncurses.stdscr.addstr('.')
		Ncurses.stdscr.refresh
		sleep 1
	end
	Ncurses.stdscr.getch

ensure
	Ncurses.echo; Ncurses.nocbreak; Ncurses.nl; Ncurses.endwin
end
