I learned that the key to an infinite scroller is to keep a couple of pieces above the screen and delete pieces once they go below the playable space. Originally I had the totem pieces go off the screen without deleting them and it led to the game slowing down and occasionally crashing. However, after implementing the deletion code, our game no longer had memory management problems and stopped crashing. 

Learned to value code commenting and open team communication due to a larger team size and a lack of understanding of what tasks certain code performed.  To mitigate this issue later in development the team decided on a set of documentation that each file must have which led to an increase in development speed.

Introduced the team to the agile development process by using a Kanban board to keep track of all the current and upcoming tasks that needed to be completed. As a result, the team rarely struggled with not knowing which tasks needed to be completed next and always could find something to work on.
