This depends on how you program "the computer".  Nobody forces you to
write an opponent that has perfect knowledge (say, about the position
of an opponent in a maze). I would even say that for strategy-based
games, this is a bad idea.  It does not produce an interesting
opponent, just a cheating opponent.  The computer player should
definitely NOT have access to everything.
