You'll have to learn how to plot pixels within tiles to create
a pseudo all-points-addressable bitmap.

Creating tile data on the fly is quite an advanced topic. I'd
suggest putting off actually implementing this feature until you
have a bit more experience.

If you're in a 2D view (not a pseudo-3D Mario Kart style view),
layering sprites may be the best solution. It's not like on the
NES where you only got 64 8x16-pixel sprites and 64 sprite pixels
per scanline. This is the GBA, whose sprite power rivals even
that of the Super NES.
