Alt Tracker for WoW

Overview

Alt Tracker is an app that tracks all of a players characters in World of Warcraft. As Blizzard uses OAuth 2.0 to secure their APIs, I can use OAuth for authentication of a user which is handled through their website. I created this app due to wanting to be able to see all of my own characters data in one place, however as a few friends were interested in it as well I adapted it to include OAuth in order for others to be able to use it for the same purpose.
