I assume that each image will be different.
I may also insinuate that the last image will go back to what the first one was.

This looks like an animation.
You are probably using the windows version.

At the top of the editor, next of the resolutions, there is a text box, it's 
called the "command line option box"
In that box, put +kff<some value>
This will turn on the animation feature and start the automatic rendering of X 
frames.
In your scene, you use the "clock" variable to control the animation. It's value 
goes from zero to 1. It can be used to move, scale, rotate, add or remove any 
object or materials.
The various conditional statements are most usefull for animations. Take a look 
at #it(condition)...#else...#end and #switch(condition) #case(value)...#break, 
#range(value,value)...#break #else...#end

If you want your animation to loop, add "+kc" to enable cyclic animation.
