A Balatro mod made by SDM_0 which gives an evolution to a few jokers.
Contains an API as well as an example Joker to create your own evolutions.
Inspired of Fusion Jokers by itayfeder.

- A Joker can evolve if it has an evolution, is present along your other Jokers and its requirement has been met.
- A requirement is a goal that needs to be reached, it is initiated when the Joker is added and increased when a condition is met.
- A condition increases by 1 by default, when the amount of condition is met, the Joker will shake and a button "Evolve" will show when clicking on it, allowing it to evolve.
- A Joker slot isn't required when evolving a Joker.
- When a Joker evolves, its pre-evolution will not be available (configurable)
- Editions and badges (eternal/perish/rental/pinned) are kept when evolving.
- Debuffed Jokers cannot evolve.
