Timemap is above the player?

Can this be expanded on?

Do I have to put it in a sprite everytime it updates?

Option 1

local BUFFER_TILES = 20 
local TILES_ON_SCREEN = 15

local tiles = gfx.imagetable.new('assets/tilesprite') -- Getting Tiles
local map = gfx.tilemap.new() -- Creating Tilemap

map:setImageTable(tiles)
map:setSize(TILES_ON_SCREEN, BUFFER_TILES)

function initializeTiles()
    for row = 1, BUFFER_TILES do
        for column = 1, TILES_ON_SCREEN do
            local block = math.random(1,2)
            map:setTileAtPosition(column, row, block) -- Assigning tiles to tilemap
        end
    end
end

function playdate.update()
    local tileSprite = gfx.sprite.new() -- Creating a sprite to put the tilemap
    tileSprite:setTilemap(map)
    tileSprite:setZIndex(1000)

    gfx.sprite.update()   
end

Or can I put the tiles in a sprite then use that throughout the game?

Option 2

local BUFFER_TILES = 20 
local TILES_ON_SCREEN = 15


local tiles = gfx.imagetable.new('assets/tilesprite') -- Getting Tiles
local map = gfx.tilemap.new() -- Creating Tilemap
local tileSprite = gfx.sprite.new() -- Creating sprite for tiles

map:setImageTable(tiles)
map:setSize(TILES_ON_SCREEN, BUFFER_TILES)

function initializeTiles()
    for row = 1, BUFFER_TILES do
        for column = 1, TILES_ON_SCREEN do
            local block = math.random(1,2)
            map:setTileAtPosition(column, row, block) -- Assigning tiles to tilemap
        end
    end

  tileSprite:setTilemap(map) -- Assigning tilemap to sprite 
  tileSprite:setZIndex(1000)

end

function playdate.update()
    gfx.sprite.update()   
end

With option 1 I feel like I'm needlessly creating a sprite every frame which feels wrong.

With option 2, it feels like ok now the tiles are associated with a sprite, but now how do I manipulate the tileset? I don't see a sprite.getTileset() or anything so....

Can you please help me understand this a bit more?
