info when a wire is pulled out of pin

[Bellerophontes]

Hi to all,
I'm new here (and to Raspi) and have a question:

I want to build a fun game based on "defusing a time bomb".

The idea is to have five wires on a breadboard connected to five pins. You have to figure out which wire you have to pull first, second and so on.

But ... I have no idea how to get a signal "wire pulled" from the pin into a variable ...


It's not about the coding (I know a little python) but about the wiring and stuff.


thanks for your help

think of the wire as a button that's being pressed.
pulling out the wire is the same as releasing the button.

Lots of code around to check button presses/releases...

hint: internal pull-up

Thanks for the hints - I will try it later today and give feedback (or more questions, ...)
