Unless I got you wrong, the head slapper is probably the fact that animations
aren't run in a loop as you seem to expect. Instead, the whole SDL is restarted
for each frame, with different values for clock and frame number.

To pass values from one frame to the next, you need to #write them to a file. Or
re-compute everything from the frame number. For example, you could change your
code to:

#declare elapsedClock = 0;
#while (elapsedClock < clock)

  //... re-compute what you did in those previous frames...

  #declare elapsedClock = elapsedClock + (clocksPerFrame)
#end
