The console used by most of these editors (except VimMate, which embeds 
gnome-terminal) is not a true terminal emulator. So you were having 
problems because your script's output was being buffered, perhaps 
excessively, by the text editor's console.

When I add the following line to the top of your program, it works fine 
in the text editor's console.

  STDOUT.sync = true  # disable output buffering

Also, might I recommend that you consistently indent your code to 
indicate logical structure (i.e. stuff within the if & while statements 
should appear "within" them).

Here is a screen shot of the fixed version of your program in jEdit:
