try this for windows: (im sure I got some of this code from this list,
so thanks to whoever posted it originaly)

require 'Win32API'

kbhit = Win32API.new("crtdll", "_kbhit", [], 'L')
getch = Win32API.new("crtdll", "_getch", [], 'L')


while (1)
    a = getch.Call if kbhit.Call != 0
    if a
        print '*'
        a = nil
    end
    sleep 0.1
end
