Complex Alternative Letters

Hey, I’m new in the forum. I’ve been reading a lot here and I have got a lot of good information, but I haven’t had reason to write before. Now I have a problem which I couldn’t find any solution.

This is kind of complex to explain, but I hope you’ll find the point. I would like to create a font which creates alternative letters after each other.

Like this:
alt1, alt2, alt3, alt4, alt5, alt4, alt3, alt2, alt1,
and repeating this cycle.

I do not know is this even possible. But, even more complex would be to use some ligatures or other alternatives in this case.

Thanks before. I know here is some gurus who can tell is this even possible.

Does this get at what you’re after?
